<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 158167, member: 3726"]I got this one online for $40 - the dealer stated that it was whizzed. I can not see the whizzing at all - plus I would have expected the whizzing to leave marks on the coin. I can not see any. Plus with my regular 1868 I can not see whizzing changing the color this much. I guess a profession "whizzer"(could not resist) could probably do one this good, but I am not sure. My real question is can "whizzing" a indian head penny change the color like this?</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I know who you are talking about - there was an older guy with his wife in the center aisle. Might have been them. I did not get any coins - the ones I really wanted were too much to haggle over. I am talking a couple chain cents. I am deciding if I want to go back tomorrow and buy the 1872 that I saw - if they still have it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
