It does look polished, or is that just the picture?

 

It looks like you used a scanner to get your images.
Then maybe(?) Photoshopped the pictures.
They look overexposed. Too much light.

Anyway, besides the "polished" look, the focus is a bit fuzzy.
And whatever method you used to make the images, do it again with a non-reflective black or dark grey background.

Bottom Line: Better images are needed.

 

I need images with a bit more contrast and less fuzziness.

 

ok so i guess im going to swallow my pride and ask...........whats polished mean? like i said in my intro i have been collecting coins solo for the whole time and just recently found all the forums and coins online so im not to up to date on the terms.

Meanwhile I am going to try to capture some better pictures
thanks

 

Here is my best pictures hope this is enough

 

I''m not sure if it's the picture or not but it still looks polished.

And that means what it sounds like...when you polish your cars you take a towel or something and rub it. The surfaces become shiny but the details get buffed down. It pretty much makes the coin "damaged" and hurts the value alot.

Did it come back as "genuine"?

 

havent sent it in yet, it is very very very shiney....too shiney actually. I know that its not the original tone of the coin and it has been cleaned, so can i take the polish off? if so what do i use? I was wondering why in the world the coin was so shiney, my microscope cant even capture a detailed picture of it.

So basically if i send it in i will get it back saying genuine? but no grade

 

Yep. It would come back no grade.
And no you can't take it off as there is nothing on it. It's just had the metal rubbed smooth off the edges.
If you don't own it yet, don't buy it. If you do own it enjoy it or sell it cause there's nothing that can be done.

 

ok thanks
guess im going to sell it
just dont understand why somebody would polish it:hammer:

 

People do a lot of funny things to their coins. They used to put baking soda on them to clean them too.
