asian_note_collector Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I would agree with you that it must be polished or partially filled die on this piece just like another person who thinks and commented the same thing on the other coin forum there but definely not sure why did the die need to be polished first before minting on the piece which is exactly the similar piece belong to me showing on above there and let me know more about it please.I do apprieiciate your help very much because you are the person who always reply me there.Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Dies are polished every now and then, and sometimes they get overpolished. Sometimes they are collected, and usually command a modest premium - such as a number of Canadian silver dollars of the 1950s missing partial, one, or more water lines beside the canoe.The most collectable example would be the 1937 US 5 cent "3 legged buffalo", with most typical examples trading for several hundred dollars. Â The importance is that the coin come from a well collected series - otherwise the item will be relatively obscure and value very limited - perhaps no more than $20 as a curiosity, and more likely <=$10.
