[QUOTE="KarlB, post: 2413062, member: 75549"]Yes, concave. It would be hard to polish something 'off' if it is concave. Over 95% of the coin collectors (many in their 70's and older) I have talked with go along with the "accepted" polishing off of the leg. I believe this idea was romantized by the late Walter Breen, and many traditionalists do not want to question what he knew, researched and wrote. Once we discuss incuse dies and concavity, they understand what I believe. That does not mean they necessarily agree, but at least they understand the minting process better. I am still learning. Every day...[/QUOTE]
