For my edification, can someone point out the characteristics of the whizzing on this coin?

I've looked at it under magnification and the only giveaway is the usual colors in the fields and some deep unusual hairlines on the obverse. This is housed in an old anacs holder so the whizzing took place many decades ago and appears to have toned over.

Yes. I did some research a few minutes ago and found the auction where it was sold.

JJuliano: From the PCGS website: Term used to describe the process of mechanically moving the metal of a lightly circulated coin to stimulate luster.Usually accomplished by using a wire brush attachment on a high speed drill.
This coin has not sold yet but will be hammered shortly by Heritage within the next 1 1/2 hours.

MikeF: That's not my forte but I think it would be a good match to go along with your first Seated dollar purchase from the 2017 FUN show. Please post a picture of that coin (1849 NGC 55) here so members can see and appreciate your tastes Edited by Everest

It says whizzed, but I would completely fall for it being original if it were raw.
I like it!

TNG: You make a great point. All the more reason to purchase a TPG coin and even then you have to be careful.I can envision this coin being broken out and passed on to an unsuspecting collector who will then be tuned off to this great hobby. |

Thanks Mike. I like you passion for this series. It's a tough series as you know. I also like your 1842,1850,and your crusty 1859-o. All the best.
