<p>[QUOTE="NotSure, post: 768697, member: 20034"]WashQuartJesse....the variety is very strictly graded to begin with. Die polish lines aren't (or don't seem to be) used 'against' the grade, per se, as non-variety Washingtons are (in my experience). Though, strike IS important, so it would have to be on a coin by coin basis. If you have a specific coin (with an image), I could give a better answer to your question. I only say this because a certain example could have die polish lines, and still have a strong strike, yet another example from the same dies could have a much weaker strike, and the die polish lines could theoretically become a glaringly negative factor. Again, in my experience, each coin (as with all series, with all coins) is judged on it's own merits, and as with all coins, a great strike speaks volumes, where a weak strike pretty much better have cleaner fields, as it needs all the help it can get, should it have a weak strike. If there is a particular coin in question, you could post (or PM me) an image of it, and I could be more specific on a particular example.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
