<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 11190, member: 112&quot;]Well I guess I&#039;m going to be the dissenting opinion on this one. The coin does not appear to have been cleaned to me. But it does appear to have suffered some very rough handling. I would really like to see a large pic of the obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I think you have here is what was once a &#039;79-S DMPL. DMPL coins are very susceptible to marks and hairlines. This is because the high degree of frost and mirror like surfaces will show the results of every time the coin is touched. </p><p><br /></p><p>Treat a Proof coin roughly - throw it on the bed or slide it around on a piece of felt in a coin cabinet - and over the years the coin will develop frost breaks and very heavy hairlines exactly like this coin has.</p><p><br /></p><p>I could be wrong - but I don&#039;t think so. I would have to see the coin in hand to be sure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
