If you could, would, just post a picture - I might, stress might, be able to tell you what and why whatever it is that is not coming off the coin....
Couldn't agree more ! There are a whole lot coins, including some in slabs, that have been labeled as whizzed - that have not been whizzed !
The one dark line on the obv, as Jim said that might be the result of a rubber band being around the coin while it was in a 2x2 or flip. But...
Yeah, I do. The day it was dipped. [ATTACH] Three days after it was dipped, just to illustrate how fast copper tones. [ATTACH] Three days...
