To actually see the polishing lines on the profile means who ever did it had a heavy hand. That is pretty extreme and I don't know why it would be polished in the incused portion of the die like this one. I see no evidence that the polishing actually removed any marks. I would think a clash is out of the question because this is one of the higher points. Very cool indeed, but it makes you think why they went to that extreme and what they were polishing away. _________________ Bob Piazza
