You also agree to follow these guidelines. You must agree to these rules to be a member of this forum. NO SPAM! Spam is deleted within minutes, no spam will ever be left in our community.

1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

5. Do not send private messages about your coin unless an Admin ask you too and the same for sending emails through the board.

6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.

7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list). Our community is not a soap box for complaining or drama, so please refrain from doing so here.[/size]

Wow!
An actual answer with proof. Not what I was rhinking it would be. Overpolishing the die, but not scratching the surface.

Paul,
Did you see the thread started by Will Brooks at the LincolnCentForum ? Some questions overall but finally some confirmation to Will's theory by Mike Diamond.

Post #61 (on Page #7) has the video of some Trails being created.
Here is the video.

Edit: Thanks Daniel for the heads up. I corrected their direct LINK info (I think!!!)

TY C,
very interesting read,.... it sounds like these guys are just like me ...... "I WANT ANSWERS"
the 'vid' on making them won't play for me, but i get their thought process.
Did you try "Copy And Paste" of the URL page into your browser? Because all the links are taking me there.

Notice in the video the polishing device is a softer and more flexible polishing device/material that is able to flex and extend into the devices. Direction of the polishing also is a factor.
