This looks cleaned or something tells me this is too good to be true

When i turned off my VPN it showed up, weird! Who here has used it when its what 1/2 the price to get the grading?

Cleaned for sure. I question the authenticity. The whole coin looks off.

 

From the ebay photos, the surfaces are screaming CAST to me, but I could be wrong. I would pass on this one, it's just too porous.

 

It is definitely harshly cleaned, but if you want to take the chance, go for it and add it to your collection. Personally, I'd wait for another one that is not so harshly cleaned (unfortunately many older coins have been cleaned at one time or another). Buying a certified coin from a reputable TPG cuts down on the chance of a harshly cleaned coin or worse, a fake.

 

I've read this term "whizzed" several times. What does it mean? Thanks.

 

When it looks like an aluminium pan with no toning, its been scrubbed somehow...

 

"Whizzing is created when a mechanical wire brush is taken to the surface of a coin at high speed."

?!?!?!!??!?! I freak out when i see people touching coins with no golves, this puts me over the top!
