<p>[QUOTE="sammie, post: 54652, member: 3302"]from those photos this coin appears that the reverse has been polished with and emery cloth or something close to it. this was common in the old days. the coin may have been mounted at one time and there may have been glue or something on the back that was removed. the obverse looks clean from the photos. Those reverse scratches are deep and would cause a body bag return. </p><p>If the coin were whizzed you would not see any scratches, rather the cartwheel would be broken and shatter in all directions. Whizzing is very deceptive and you need to see lots of whizzed coins to pick it up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
