    Not sure if it’s been whizzed or not. Too hard to tell from photos. Nice looking!

    It's hard to say from those photos. See if it looks similar to this one which has normal, original surfaces.

    An excellent example of cartwheel luster! The spokes are clearly visible.

    OP - Hold your coin under direct light and tilt it back and forth, look for those cartwheel spokes moving like clock hands. If you don't see them, it's been cleaned.
