<p>[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 268423, member: 307"]The coin may not look to have any wear, but you need to peek underneath the toning. You will see breaks in the luster I guarantee, but only on the highest points of the design. The coin then retoned after the wear was imparted. What I saw was a large number of marks that couldn't have all been bagmarks if they used this one as a target for an entire bag. Therefore, some of the marks had to come from circulation. The coin then retoned and looks as if it was laying between two small objects for a very long period of time before being submitted for grading.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope that helps you to see what I saw.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
