<p>[QUOTE="dannic113, post: 1463320, member: 35203"]IMO the obverse was tooled way more than the reverse. Tooling is the use of tools to strengthen details of coins or to change/add/delete mint marks and dates. It can also be what they call whizzing where a buffing or polishing tool of some sort was applied. The hair looks like it had some work done to the detail and it looks like a lot of bag/scratch marks were buffed out of the cheek. The reverse the only signs that could point to tooling would be maybe some corrosion or something else that was cleaned/buffed away in the U of united, between the ED of united, the IC of america, the D of dollar and the OL of dollar. Definate finish discolorations around those areas.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
