[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2385106, member: 1892"]I'm thinking you're using lights of two different color temperatures. The camera is white balanced to the one at Noon, but the one at 3:00 is too yellow and will throw off surface opinions. One swipe across an ironed cotton shirt can create all the hairlines we see here at once, so I don't consider them any evidence of cleaning. It has to be a guess because of the differing color temperatures, but my guess is original surfaces and some very_slight handling over the years as the coin spent most of its' time in one money chest or another.[/QUOTE]
