<p>[QUOTE="rzage, post: 643698, member: 14070"]Here is an example of a pretty well done whizz job , it almost looks like the coin has a lot of luster , it probably had some remaining , but under closer examination you can see the telltale lines from the brush used to even out and polish the surface , the best way to learn is by looking at actual coins that have been whizzed but good pictures are the next best , a lot of whizzed coins you can see where the metal was moved up against the lettering and other devises , also these same devises tend to be rounded at the edges instead of more square . Look at the details on this coin like the arrowheads , and eagleshead all are more rounded than a usual example in this condition . Please feel free to comment on other things that may stick out to you , thanks .</p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=29073&Lot_No=24093#photo" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=29073&Lot_No=24093#photo" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=29073&Lot_No=24093#photo</a></p><p><img src="http://images.ha.com/lf?source=url[file:images/inetpub/newnames/300/4/8/6/5/4865012.jpg],continueonerror[true]&scale=size[450x2000],options[limit]&source=url[file:images/inetpub/webuse/no_image_available.gif],if[('global.source.error')]&sink" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><a href="http://javascript<b></b>:popUpBigPic(&quot;/common/view_image_only.php?img=&quot; + encodeURIComponent(&quot;http://images.ha.com/lf?source=url[file:images/inetpub/newnames/300/4/8/6/5/4865013.jpg],continueonerror[true]&source=url[file:images/inetpub/webuse/no_image_available.gif],if[('global.source.error')]&sink&quot;));" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://javascript<b></b>:popUpBigPic(&quot;/common/view_image_only.php?img=&quot; + encodeURIComponent(&quot;http://images.ha.com/lf?source=url[file:images/inetpub/newnames/300/4/8/6/5/4865013.jpg],continueonerror[true]&source=url[file:images/inetpub/webuse/no_image_available.gif],if[('global.source.error')]&sink&quot;));" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://coins.ha.com/common/images/zoom.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><a href="http://javascript<b></b>:popUpBigPic(&quot;/common/view_image_only.php?img=&quot; + encodeURIComponent(&quot;http://images.ha.com/lf?source=url[file:images/inetpub/newnames/300/4/8/6/5/4865013.jpg],continueonerror[true]&source=url[file:images/inetpub/webuse/no_image_available.gif],if[('global.source.error')]&sink&quot;));" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://javascript<b></b>:popUpBigPic(&quot;/common/view_image_only.php?img=&quot; + encodeURIComponent(&quot;http://images.ha.com/lf?source=url[file:images/inetpub/newnames/300/4/8/6/5/4865013.jpg],continueonerror[true]&source=url[file:images/inetpub/webuse/no_image_available.gif],if[('global.source.error')]&sink&quot;));" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://images.ha.com/lf?source=url[file:images/inetpub/newnames/300/4/8/6/5/4865013.jpg],continueonerror[true]&scale=size[450x2000],options[limit]&source=url[file:images/inetpub/webuse/no_image_available.gif],if[('global.source.error')]&sink" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p> </p><p>Sorry the enlargement detail doesn't work , so go to the link above to see an enlarged version .</p><p>rzage:smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
