<p>[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 2164547, member: 27832"]Yeah, but note how the "spokes" on the front only appear around the stars. That's a really common giveaway -- when someone scrubs or polishes (or even lightly circulates) a coin, it's hard to reach the fields around the stars, so those areas retain luster. I once bought a half-dollar type set where the Barber half was like that -- still had plenty of luster around the stars, but the rest was scrubbed down hard. Really sad.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
