<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 2451512, member: 77413&quot;]These are the reasons I don&#039;t think it is whizzed, after all.</p><ul> <li>the marks travel in just one direction, and</li> <li>the direction on the obverse exactly complements the reverse. This means the pattern is embedded in the coin and goes all the way through.</li> <li>The pattern continues unchanged in the fields and devices. You can see it continue through the wheat ears and out to the very edges of the coin.</li> <li>It is too coarse. If you are whizzing you would use the finest tool possible. This looks like it was hit by a wire brush from my toolbox.</li> <li>I don&#039;t see signs of metal movement. If the direction of abrasion were left to right, then I would see metal shoved about at the edge of the devices and in the fine lines in the wheat ears. I don&#039;t see that.</li> </ul><p>Again, I originally thought it was harshly cleaned, and I may have set it aside in disappointment when I first got it. It was only after seeing [USER=1892]@SuperDave[/USER] post a coin with planchet lamination issues (mentioned in post #26, above) that I began to start thinking about the marks in a different way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I am thinking I am lucky to get a very interesting coin, beyond what I expected.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
