<p>[QUOTE=&quot;McBlzr, post: 2649851, member: 4027&quot;]If it was in a bezel or ring, it would come in contact with sweat &amp; body oils. Depending how often the owner worn the jewelry pieces. Therefore they would try to clean it from time to time. Not saying for sure that your 1914-D was treated this</p><p>way in it&#039;s former life. I am just showing you the possibility. Here is a 1909-D $5 Indian that I bought from a guy that needed money. Notice the slight darker toned ring around the OBV edge of the coin. Which is evidence it was in a bezel. My coin has probably been cleaned several times before I got it. But gold can still look sorta lustrous.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also since the design of the Indian &amp; the Eagle were incuse (below the surface of the fields) they did not show wear quickly. The fields &amp; edges showed the wear first.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]586050[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]586051[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]586052[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
