[QUOTE="willymac, post: 1620565, member: 35964"]Thank you for the feedback - help me understand how it is polished? There is absolutely no wear in the details. Is it on the fields where you see the polish? How is there no wear anywhere other than a few spots? Not a single denticle has a spec of anything...this would then appear to be the most exquisitely polished (without leaving any wear on any high spot, and while cleaning out every single grove and leaving nothing behind) coin that has ever been done in the history of coins... I could see someone saying it was dipped in something (which I dont know what that is or means), but assuming it was dipped in something, one would expect residue of some kind in the creases or on the edges and there is none of that...so what can something be dipped in that dosent leave residue, coats evenly and can be polished without harming any details (wings, etc) on the coin? Sorry for the gruff response, but I am trying to figure this thing out...Thanks a TON to all the responses!!![/QUOTE]
