[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2751933, member: 10461"]Cleaned that one may be (a tad whizzed, perhaps?) but it's still quite decent looking. In my experience, while Peace dollars do display the "cartwheel" effect, it is usually a bit more subtle. For one thing, the sun rays on the reverse break up the flatness of the fields and cause the light to reflect differently. I'm not surprised your son was enamored of a big, flashy silver dollar. I remember when I saw my first one. I was older (11) and had already begun collecting. I do remember when I was around his age (6 or so) being given a Kennedy half, and how big and exciting that seemed to me at the time. Edit- looking at your bigger pictures (I'm on a small tablet) that coin was definitely whizzed. Note the series of fine parallel lines. But your son won't care about that. Here's a coin you can give him to hold and handle (and keep, if he's mature enough), without stressing over it.[/QUOTE]
