<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom B, post: 1605175, member: 11854&quot;]Please let me complicate matters a tiny bit.:devil: Sometimes, proof coinage will show strong die polish on the <i>devices </i>and this can be with or without die polish in the fields, too. Below is a 1953 proof Franklin half with strong die polish on the portrait that is mostly horizontal within the hair (bald head) portion as well as on the clothes, but is primarily vertical on the face. There is also a little bit of die polish in the field near the date. The reverse shows die polish on the Liberty bell and this is most easily visible near the bottom of the bell on the viewer&#039;s left side. Images are embedded, but I have included links for larger images, too. The coin is in an old fatty NGC holder as PF67 and has a CAC sticker, too, so you can be fairly confident that I am not making up the die polish statement.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://wsm.ezsitedesigner.com/share/scrapbook/23/239107/WTBR2I1953N67.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://wsm.ezsitedesigner.com/share/scrapbook/23/239107/TBI1953N67W.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://wsm.ezsitedesigner.com/share/scrapbook/23/239107/TBI1953N67W.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://wsm.ezsitedesigner.com/share/scrapbook/23/239107/TBI1953N67W.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://wsm.ezsitedesigner.com/share/scrapbook/23/239107/TBI1953N67WR.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://wsm.ezsitedesigner.com/share/scrapbook/23/239107/TBI1953N67WR.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://wsm.ezsitedesigner.com/share/scrapbook/23/239107/TBI1953N67WR.jpg</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
