    IMO that coin has been cleaned and altered heavily.

    cleaned excessively, the photo was taken under an interesting light source so as hide something on the surface

    I would have to have it in hand to determine if the straight lines on the fields are planchet metal flow lines or cleaning lines. From here, they look like normal planchet metal flow lines.

    I'm not sure on it. Looks nice though, but what is he trying to hide with those pics. I agree, looks cleaned.
