<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 415907, member: 112&quot;]Yes, when a coin is whizzed metal does build up around the edges of the devices and legends. But whiizing is seldom seen with a circular pattern, it is almost always just straight lines. They will appear as very fine scratches on the surface, all parallel and usually running in the same direction, sometimes in a radial pattern around the coin. Often just the fields are whizzed, but sometimes the devices too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I hate to say this, but based on the blow up pic, I am going to have change my mind and say that I think this coin has been whizzed. Can you show another blow up pic of a different area, say the area in front if Liberty&#039;s face.</p><p><br /></p><p>And did you make this blow up pic of the date area out of 2 different pics ? There is something going on with the 9. It looks almost like one numeral has been placed directly on top of another. Look at the pic closely with a magnifying glass, there is a prefectly straight line running from the top left corner of the 9 down into the denticles. I have never seen anything quite like it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
