On close examination, however, I noticed a pattern of marks across the surfaces. They seem to be more in the fields than anywhere else. [ATTACH=full]1682795[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1682796[/ATTACH] I own a couple "whizzed" coins and this coin doesn't look like them, but...being new to modern coins I'm wondering if the marks on this rupee are normal mint luster, or if they are cleaning marks, or whizzing marks. Thanks![/QUOTE]
