<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CohibaCris, post: 11219, member: 904&quot;]Acutally, after taking the coin in to the dealer, and having several pairs of eyes look at it, the consensus opinion is that is cannot be whizzed.</p><p><br /></p><p>The opinion is that the planchet was shaved prior to minting, or that these are registration marks.&nbsp; To be honest, I don&#039;t yet know what that means, but be sure that I will know before the night is over....</p><p><br /></p><p>None of the hairline scratches go onto the devices, not even the ramp up at the wings or the wreath.&nbsp; It would be physically impossible and altogether impractical to whiz the field, without catching the devices.&nbsp; This was at 60x, a magnification that I do not have the ability to view.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I see the coin next, it should be in a slab.&nbsp; We decided the best decision was to send it off, along with the other coins the dealer had in their collection that showed these marks.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will let you all know how it goes....</p><p>Thanks for the input!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
