<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1758934, member: 66"]The surface finish on a business strike coin can vary considerably depending on how much polishing the die received after hardening, and how much wear the die has received through use. A new die can have a matte or a PL finish depending on the amount of polish/cleaning it received. Then through use as the die starts to wear and flowlines start to develop you can get a tight flashy luster, then as it wears more the luster band becomes more subdued and starts widening. Eventually you get a satiny finish/luster, and fianlly a worn heavily flowlined appearance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
