The Beauty of Die Polish...Post ‘em if you Got ‘em!

3keepSECRETif2rDEAD

...I just got a couple TV’s back and this baby just looked so cool (to me) that I had to show her off...just a widget 82s in 64 but the reverse has clean enough mirrors from a couple feet away to catch my little brother with his hands in the cigar box! If I could have a double sided Morgan; this would be my look...also, I didn’t even notice all the die polish because the mirrors were so deep to my tight eyes that when I flashed light to it I completely lost my high (and that can get expensive)...so I stopped looking and sent her in for a glamour shot

***POST your Favorite Coin or Coins with that have die polish galore! Even if you think they are fugly, if you have one then post it so at least some of us can Enjoy them!

Wow... that sure does have some die polish....I do not have any even remotely like that. I would have to do some examination to even find one with a few die polish lines... Thanks for showing that one... Cheers, RickO

Some of the 1858 small cent patterns have strong die lines like this one. Makes for a very flashy looking coin.

I don't have any.... but I sure enjoy looking at them.

Giving this thread a bump , since die polish has entered the discussion in Insider's "hairlines" thread.

I bought this IHC on ebay in 2011 for $465. It was graded 65RB.

I consigned it to Angel Dee's. Andy Skrabalak saw potential I didn't realize. It regraded 66+RD, stickered at CAC, and sold for $8400 in March 2019.

The die polish overwhelms the images. The coin was flashy and red. I suck at this game but I'm so glad Andy is my friend.

My least favorite / most dinged up MS66
Strangely though, the only one that CAC'ed
The dark area under the branch has most of the polishing.

It is not a UC coin, but a scarce and sought after Canadian 25 cent (1873 Large Bust)
I believe that these vertical lines are die polishing lines. Perhaps I am wrong??
they are most certainly NOT scratches.

Echoing @YQQ, another Canadian with strong vertical die polish. You do have to zoom way in.
