<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 1652687, member: 37839&quot;]Sorry, Greg,but it has been harshly cleaned.&nbsp; The lines cross in the fields, and don&#039;t extend over the devices visibly.&nbsp; Someone took a buffer, and attempted to buff the fields, to make the coin look brighter.&nbsp; It looks like a &quot;toothbrush&quot; pattern--rectangular marks back and forth, as opposed to swirls, that are frequent with a dremel tool or a buffer pad attached to a drill.&nbsp; My bet is someone used a rectangular object to push a cloth or buffer with polish on it, over the fields to make the contrast in the coin appear more significant.&nbsp; Believe it or not, some folks use toothpaste, and a small child&#039;s toothbrush to do so--I had one coin that was evidently polished that way, and the rectangular pattern emerged from that.&nbsp; So, figure that someone took a buffer of some kind to the fields of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
