[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1315715, member: 26302"]I am just saying, be careful. I am not talking about regular polishing, but whizzing like they did in the 70's before TPG to fool buyers dumb enough to not use a loupe. To a certain extent, cartwheeling can be replicated enough for a photo. I am not talking the garage type hack job, but will not mention the better way. I am sure a lot of the old guys who did it are gone, but I in fact know there still are people who know how to do it. I was shown in the early 80's, it was another way to hide damaged coins, (of course it just further damaged them). Just spreading information sir. I am sure you have used this fact successfully many times, just warning you there are ways to defeat that tactic, especially in poor photos. Always use a loupe when you get the coin in hand.
