Looks like someone gave your coin a wax and buff.
Bet my last buck its been Whissed or polished what ever you want to call the damage done.

I'm fairly new to coin collecting. I recently bought a coin on ebay that had bright, clean surfaces - for a 1936 coin - but I noticed upon reviewing the coin, once it was in my hands, that the edges were clean just around the areas closest to the obverse and reverse, but for the most part the center of the edges were not clean like the rest of the coin. I attributed that to the coin having been cleaned. Was I right in that analysis? Ques: how do they ridges of this coin look? Is it common to see the edges dirty when the rest of the coin looks in very good (to great) condition? |

I bought both the 92 and 93 at a show earlier this year. 10 bucks apiece. I figured they were cleaned but I wanted them. I couldn't help myself. Heres one of them, both in the same condition....   Oregon coin geek.....*** GO BEAVS ! ! ! ***

Your picturs of the 1892 looks to be covered with the swirl maks one sees on a improperly cleaned coin.

John R, that's a nice original MS63 coin. I love the frosty original unmolested luster.

Carry that original piece of USA coinage history around in your pocket long enough and you will be very happy when it looks like this ...  Don't melt it ... cherish it for what it is. David |
