    Looks like someone used a dremel tool with a grinding wheel.

    But at least the seller says it's been cleaned.
    Of course "cleaned" is an understatement.

    What would the coin be worth if not harshly cleaned?

    That was my first thought when I looked at it. Maybe a dremel with a wire wheel. Ouch.

    some places are so deep you almost start thinking it's part of the coin. I also found what the coin should look like in worn condition. If you guys find a better example somewhere post the image :D

    Ya think its the worse? i got an 1858 Canadian 5 cent that was whizzed so bad, the lettering on the date has actually increased in width.
    Man o man..I wish i never bought it, but what do you expect when a 13 yr old with no formal coin experiance can't be told otherwise.

    Did you open my link on top of the page or did you just assume that the picture of the coin I posted was it ?

    This is the coin in the link:
