    Can someone see if there is something wrong with this walker. Besides of cousre, that its scratched and circ. The diameter and the weight are right. Thanks

    Definate hairline scratches on that coin.
    Cleaned and polished.

    Polished would be my guess. A circulated coin doesn't get that shiny without help. :D Lol, still pretty neat, and worth about melt I'd say.

    Thanks. I was thinking cleaned too. But polished? Like with silver polish? What kind of chowderhead would do that? Anyway my daughter-in-law gave it to me for my birthday.

    people see tarnished/toned metal and feel the urge to "clean it". most people dont realize that cleaning old coins like this one is a giant no no.

    harshly cleaned and retoned is my guess
