<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 698685, member: 7638&quot;]In the photos, it APPEARS to me that the upper photo shows die polish, the lines appear to be raised and on the flat surfaces of the coin. The second photo looks more like metal flow lines to me. Since polishing was usually carried out on the flat surfaces of the dies, the devices should not have polishing marks. However, on the $2.50 and $5 Indians, with the portrait being incuse into the coin, I wonder if that part of the die would be more susceptible to acquiring polish marks, unless great care was taken during the process. I&#039;m no expert on these coins, for sure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
