<p>[QUOTE="Tom B, post: 1620586, member: 11854"]You appear to be having a difficult time with the idea that the coin has been polished, but it has without doubt been polished. A polish is a fine grit compound that typically does not impart the deep scratches and grooves of more abrasive cleaning methods. Instead, flow lines are generally obliterated and the surfaces of polished coins become much more homogeneous, flat and mirror-like. This is quite similar to how some jewelry or silverware appears after being polished. There is a very distinctive look to polished coins and this coin has been polished.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
