<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KurtS, post: 2269469, member: 11786&quot;]Metal was moved around by mechanical means--I would be willing to bet that a rotary wire brush did it. The sharply raised edges on the legends and on design details--where none should be present on an unmolested MS coin--are diagnostic of whizzing. <b>This is not a diagnosis I invented</b>--I simply found a good example of what coin experts have already discussed in detail--for the benefit of collectors here. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Below is another example on an IHC showing how metal gets pushed around by a rotary metal brush, leaving raised rims--arrows.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2851/12892121905_1d478531a4_b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
