<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ike Skywalker, post: 3276936, member: 82381&quot;]So I did purchase the coin, and it arrived yesterday. Now that I have the coin in hand I can see no evidence of hairlines from cleaning. The toning is obviously artificial, yet it exhibits decent cartwheel luster. Those roller lines (striations) are incredibly bold. They&#039;re even present on the reverse, although they&#039;re much less pronounced. It looks so..... exotic. The seller&#039;s photos show circular hairlines in addition to the parallel striations, so either these were scratches on the flip (I couldn&#039;t see them on the flip either), or it was some sort of weird effect produced by the lighting setup that was used. I didn&#039;t think to photograph it the same way while it was still in the flip, so I can&#039;t try to replicate it now. Anyway, here are my photos:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]865540[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]865541[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]865542[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
