<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1237676, member: 24633"]It's a CIRCULATED coin that has been handled by who knows how many hands for 10, 20, or 50 or more years. The dirt and grime in the protected areas of the date and legend would be natural, but the open spaces of the fields and the face would naturally seem clean. The "shine" you mention is just the reflection of light when the photo was taken. You can produce this same effect when taking a photo of black iron.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
