<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 1600678, member: 2972&quot;]Not really that look like this, but you will see those types of dents on a coin that&#039;s been a bit beat up and then dipped then &quot;flashed&quot; into a camera.</p><p><br /></p><p>When a wire brush is used on a coin, you can usually see areas around the tight crevices that are untouched.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This coin doesn&#039;t have that.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, the color is also a dead giveaway of a dipped coin.&nbsp; They simply don&#039;t come that light bronze color, and when you whiz them they come out looking much &quot;brighter&quot;, more copper colored, and have telltale hairlines/brushmarks.</p><p><br /></p><p>What happened to confuse you, if I may be so bold, is this:&nbsp; The way the photos have been done, with heavy sharpening and the coin being &quot;flashed&quot;, makes the bumps and pits look more pronounced than they do in-hand, and gives the appearance of your wire wheeled coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s see what others have to say....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
