<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 8317415, member: 7638&quot;]well I&#039;m not the forum expert on altered surfaces, by a long shot, but I&#039;ll say what I think about this particular coin.&nbsp; whizzed:&nbsp; no, that creates a sort of faux luster with raised metal close to the devices near the whizzed area.&nbsp; </p><p>tooling?&nbsp;&nbsp; that&#039;s usually moving metal around and smoothing out rough areas.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see any sign of that.&nbsp; this coin is covered in hairlines with no &quot;unnatural&quot; smooth areas (which would also destroy mint luster).</p><p>Puttied?&nbsp;&nbsp; this is used to cover up dings and abrasions, usually on the cheek or fields, this coin has so many hairlines from cleaning that putty would show up as an unnaturally smooth area, like a smooth, sore thumb.&nbsp; </p><p>jmho.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
