[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 59557, member: 669"][IMG]http://www.cointalk.org/gallery/files/3/5/7/0/mycoins022.jpg[/IMG] I certainly don't see any of the usual tell-tale signs of tampering, tooling, cleaning or brushing. :) So far as I know there is no way to "create" mirrors on a coin other than through some form of polishing, which would leave definite signs around the edges of the design and legends, and would destroy any luster. I wouldn't be prepared to buy it as a proof or proof-like business strike just from the pictures, but if I were a Morgan collector I would certainly want to see it in hand. ;) By the way, I don't think I've welcomed you to the forum yet, so consider it done.[/QUOTE]
