<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kipling79, post: 6966326, member: 103928&quot;]I was going through a pile of discarded/cleaned coins, looking for junk silver, when I found this Ike. I must have put it in that pile when I was younger (due to some wiping/hairlines), but now I am thinking that the mirror finish is from the mint and unrelated to the &quot;cleaning&quot;?</p><p><br /></p><p>By my eye: The obverse devices are seriously mirrored, and this mirrored surface extends a into the fields, transitioning into some very heavy/lustrous flowlines (which reflect my Redbook well themselves). The reverse is more mirrored in the fields. Lots of well defined die-polish lines appear on on reverse but didn&#039;t show up in the pics.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have added pictures of the two opposite states, mirror v luster, for input. Despite the wiping and black spots, I am intrigued by this coin... it does look much nicer in person.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1273648[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1273649[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1273650[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1273651[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
