Wow that sure is a whizzed coin. Great example although that one is obvious even to my novice eyes.

That's a lot of money to ask for a coin that has been altered. I'm guessing it has been graded but put into a 2x2 to eke out some more value.....

You're probably right tripoli, the auction starts at full Trends price.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

I was going to post that coin as a whizzed example too.

It's a textbook example.

Here's what to look for:

1. Look at the surfaces and notice the micro-grooved surfaces.
Parallel in patches, yet in other area, the parallel lines are going in another direction.

2. Look for a coin that at first glance looks like an ms67!!
I often refer to this type of whizzed coin as:

"Good from far, but far from good."

At least the seller of this coin is completely honest in describing it. Although I suspect he might come to regret his honesty.

I don't quite understand what you mean.

How can anyone regret one's honesty?

Honesty and marketing do not go together. I doubt he will get anywhere near his asking price if he needs to sell this coin.
