[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 3307266, member: 77413"]The coin in-hand is both shiny and has the cartwheel luster that shows in the photos. The coin pictures I saw at Heritage of 66’s looked more frosted than shiny, but they also had poor strikes compared to this one, as if they were late die stages. Because of the fine die lines on the reverse I just can’t imagine it ever being touched. I thought I saw some lines around the leg, but those disappear under the leg and have to be polish marks. In all honesty, I can’t imagine how you harshly clean a coin yet leave those fine original markers intact. I think it was struck shortly after the dies were polished and the myriad lines were transferred to the coin, along with the glossy look. I’m with the seller here. I don’t know why this got detailed. It sure looks great to me. I kinda wish I could put a number to it, but the online examples seem all over the map to me.[/QUOTE]
