<p>[QUOTE=&quot;joecoincollect, post: 2120440, member: 71338&quot;]I recently came across a bunch of 1964 Kennedy halves. Several of them had die polish lines. At first glance I thought they were hairlines, but closer up I could tell they were raised, which is an indicator of die polishing lines. Also, the lines seemed to stay in the fields. This makes sense, since the higher relief areas were incuse on a die and not polished like the fields were. I suspect the same die polish problem with your coins. I&#039;ve never seen it yet on proof coins, as my kennedies were business strike, so hopefully someone else can chime in about it happening on proofs. It&#039;s actually a little difficult to tell from your pics though. I think you have to first look in person to see if they are raised lines, or incuse on the coin which would indicate hairlines as you suspect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
