The lines seen in the fields of that dime were caused by die wear, not the polishing.
Truly amazing detail in that thing ! I can't even begin to imagine the hours of work that would go into something like that.
It looks pretty obvious to me that somebody has already tried to remove the bezel, or frame as you called it, from the coin and gave up after...
The brush does this - The others in your universe don't. It's just that simple.
It's pretty simple Kurt all ya gotta do is go back and read. As for the difference between buffing and whizzing, and people thinking there is no...
Refute ??? That is precisely what I have been trying to tell people since the discussion began !

In your opinion maybe, but not in mine. What I was trying to explain is that it's the entire point. A whizzed coin always has built up metal at...
Sounds to me like you've got your hands full John ! I guess it's kind of the nature of the internet though - websites come and websites go. Some...
I suspect the answer to your question is going to be one of those situations where the answer depends on whom you ask. For example, I did a quick...
We're in agreement on the basic concept that the designations existed pre-TPG. But I believe a big part of the reason NGC and PCGS use the...
I guess maybe the best way to explain things is it's a matter of technicality. Whizzing, whizzed, has become something of a catch-all term used to...
