[QUOTE="Taxidermist, post: 2081421, member: 24849"]I noticed this "rays" effect on fields of 10 New Israeli Shekel from 2004. I can describe it as rays of different finish going from the center towards the rim. The fields got normal regular finish while the rays got more mirror-like finish, which makes very unusual effect when you look at the luster. Under certain light angle, it is very clear that the rays are reflective and the rest of the coin is normal matte, just like it supposed to be. The other side is normal, no issues at all. I looked at it for a very long time, under a loupe, and I am certain this is not toning. Disregard the fact this is a foreign and bimetallic coin, have you ever seen this effect on another coin? Is it a planchet flaw, die "repairs"/partial polishing, strike issue inside the press or just PMD? Please click and see enlraged photos. [ATTACH]387433[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]387434[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
