<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RBBDoughty, post: 2091002, member: 73447&quot;]I&#039;ll post a whizzed IHC whenever I next find one. It is when someone uses a rotary tool to clean the coin, such as a dremel tool. Whizzing is regarded as the absolute worst thing that can happen to a coin, and some collectors consider them as evil as counterfeits. A whizzed coin has altered surfaces, and is often regarded as destroyed. <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/how-to-tell-a-coin-have-been-whizzed.60475/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/how-to-tell-a-coin-have-been-whizzed.60475/">The barber quarter in this thread</a> is a good example. You can see a faint extra outline under the chin, and in front of the nose. Also, you can see spots around the stars and under the date that show the original coin surface, where the the dremel tool was unable to reach.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
