[QUOTE="ashikunn, post: 1826774, member: 58639"]Hi everyone, I just received a quarter in the mail today that I had been waiting for. It looks pretty nice and has amazing shine/mirror effect (maybe can't tell from pics). I grazed the back of my finger over the film and all the high points are very very high. When looking at it out of the light it has a sort of blueish hue which is really cool. My question is: What are all these nicks all over it ? (especially the obverse) I don't think it's a result from cleaning. I noticed some other coins like this, with a sort of "freezing-over" effect where it looks like my car windshield on a cold morning, all frosted over. It was hard to capture the extent of the little nicks with the camera. Sorry. Anyone got anything for me ? Thanks !
