<p>[QUOTE=&quot;raider34, post: 878058, member: 16402&quot;]Imo, from the pics the coin appears to have altered surfaces. This is a big money coin in MS grades, so coin doctors will mess with AU coins, to make them look MS.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe your coin was polished, and then in an attempt to cover up the polishing the devices of the coin were artificially frosted. One give away is the shininess in certain parts of the device (especially on Liberty&#039;s hair). Also what ever was used to re-frost the devices is seen in the fields, most notably as a streak right under trust, running parallel with the eagle&#039;s wing. There is also a build up of the substance on the 3rd leaf cluster from the top right of the wreath on the reverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
