<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RAYMOND GONZALES, post: 2948741, member: 87130&quot;]Sorry I thought there was a little more science to it like high relief vs low </p><p>1. There is a spike on her crown in-between the 1st and second where as the low relief does not. </p><p>2. The length of the spike I believe at the base of the E in Liberty. </p><p>3. The thickness of the Date</p><p>4. On the reverse an extra spike at the base of the tree/perch</p><p>Also reverse the length of the spikes or distance between the lettering and tip of the spikes. </p><p>Anywho I have never seen suck a captivating coin it really has eye appeal in person!! </p><p>Not sure if I am convinced that it was polished but I am no prob. It has no tiny or hairline scratches visible and looks like the surface of other silver proofs I have &amp; put under the microscope. Plus it doesn&#039;t make sense and actually the idea seems rediculous that someone would water Queen to someone like that especially when they are making them nearly a million dollars profit a year that&#039;s just up front not counting the side deals I&#039;m sure they had kick back etc. I mean really in 1970 they had 900 Midas stores opened just in Phoenix Arizona 900 that&#039;s a lot of DM stores selling their product! And that&#039;s only a third there were two other companies Jiffy Lube and Big O Tire.. so to think that they would give the man who gave them that sort of break a polished within an inch of his $5 coin then have an encapsulated as a paperweight to sit on his desk for the whole world to see&nbsp; just doesn&#039;t fit that would be one hell of an insult. For God&#039;s sake this that I had royalty asking his advice and for his services. And I get the point about it doesn&#039;t belong to someone famous but then again aren&#039;t most famous people just puppets anyways the people who really control things and have the real money you generally never hear about!! </p><p>Thanks for all your feedback!! I have a few more coins to pick your brains about. I come across some interesting pieces from time to time. Who knew there was this much to numastatics. My hats off to the OG&#039;s of coin collecting<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
