[QUOTE="lkeigwin, post: 1189756, member: 30400"]Whizzing doesn't leave hair lines, FWIW. Surfaces are usually dazzling but the luster is all wrong. And on careful inspection bits of metal can be seen at the edges of devices. To detect cleaning hair lines use a good loupe and rotate the coin under light. Parallel faint lines that cross devices is a give away. Hair lines that do not cross devices are usually due to die maintenance (often called polish lines, a little too loosely).
