<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismat, post: 1274665, member: 15019&quot;]With certain foreign coins these die polish lines can be a good sign. For example Swiss specimen issues or British India proof-like restrikes. Sometimes the only clear difference between them and the cheaper, uncirculated normal issues is the presence of such lines, as the more expensive specimens and p/l issues were struck from highly polished dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>I completely agree with lkeigwin. The presence of dynamic luster is a good sign it has not been whizzed. Static luster, which does not vary in appearance or reflectivity when viewed from different angles, is a strong sign of cleaning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
