[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3324627, member: 77814"]You are looking at the coin as a whole. Start looking at individual parts of the coin notice how around all the letters on the outside of the coin the polish isn't there. These are locations where the "shininess" is protected by the letters and should be the last part losing being shiny. The opposite is true here [ATTACH=full]881123[/ATTACH] Look at the Hair and how it lacks detail. Just like if someone polished the wazoo out of it. Polishing flattens/removes details just like circulation wear. But if circulation wear, it would lose the shiny factor. [ATTACH=full]881124[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]881125[/ATTACH] look near the edges of the coin where the flat areas are protected more. Shows the signs of polishing. The letters of "in god we trust" are polished on the top, which are the higher wear locations and shouldn't be polished compared to the unpolished surfaces around the letters. Also around the edge of the rim and edges of Washington. [ATTACH=full]881126[/ATTACH] they really went to town to polish the reverse.[/QUOTE]
