[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3261484, member: 112"]That's just it Dave, they didn't go through what they were supposed to make them look good - they did a lousy job plain and simple. When dies are polished there are different steps, they use course diamond paste in the first step followed by finer and finer grades of diamond paste in each subsequent step. And whey do the final step - there will be no die polish lines visible. But when they skip the final steps and only do half their job - then die polish lines are visible ! That's why they are only seen on some coins and not all of them. Because somebody only did half the job they were supposed to do.[/QUOTE]
