<p>[QUOTE="Dynoking, post: 25315817, member: 81795"]The lines you see in the obverse field are not hair lines or scratches of any kind. Those are die polish marks. The way to tell the difference is die polish marks stop at or appear to go under the device or the motto. Scratches including hair lines usually go across a device or motto. The random scratches seen on the neck and pony tail are just that. Random scratches. The striations are not the result of cleaning. Rather they are the result of a worn die.
