That has the strangest surface patterns I have ever seen on a Barber coin. I have not seen alot of MS examples, but compared to other MS coin surfaces, this one is different. Could be the pics, but I see that "paisley" pattern mentioned and it is strange to me.

Don't get me wrong , that is a nice coin ! I am interested in getting to the bottom of this one !

Taking pics can be a chore for sure ! I have taken thousands, most of which could not be used for much more than viewing pleasure. Good grading photos can be a tall order on some coins. Try , try again ! And relish in the knowledge that you'll never get it right every time.....

If cloth had been pressing against it (maybe it was wrapped?) for a long time, could it cause that pattern?

I guess I'd have to say it looks like its been frozen. Like ice crystals.
Rest in Peace

That's exactly what I was thinking. It looked like snowflakes.
