<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 277893, member: 2972&quot;]Whizzing is using a rotating wheel (think Dremel) to artificially produce luster on a coin that is not lustrous.&nbsp; Typically done on XF or AU coins to make them appear MS.&nbsp; A telltale sign would be hairlines visible under magification (although harilines could also be evidence of a cleaning or even circulation, so be careful).&nbsp; To an expert, whizzing would be immediately obvious.&nbsp; I only mentioned it as being one type of problem the coin could have that would make it worth less -- I don&#039;t see any evidence to suggest this is the case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
