biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 12/06/2012 11:58 am The obverse looks like a whizzing job gone really bad(not that there is such a thing as a "good" whizzing). The 2nd photo in the second set of images shows the striations left by a high speed rotary wire wheel, they are much stronger than hairlines left by a typical cleaning. Unfortunately, the white balance setting makes it very difficult to see what is going on with the lumps on the reverse. My best guess would be that the coin was soldered to something(belt buckle?) and someone tried to remove the remaining solder with a Dremel or wire wheel attachment on a drill and then just carried the work over to the obverse as well. Since there are no lumps on the obverse, it received a less vigorous abrading than the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

There is no way I can get a picture in daylight this time of year, it's dark when I leave for work and dark when I get home. Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 12/06/2012 9:53 pm with biokemist6 except I don't think it was soldered. It looks like it fell victim to a blow-torch. Then, after it was a blackened mess, it got whizzed. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/07/2012 06:58 am This coin suffers from damage. It is likely genuine, but has been wire-wheel cleaned to death and has solder on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
