What A Whizzed Bronze Coin Looks Like

Thanks. Very informative. Question: What is typically used to whiz a coin. I've heard a wire brush, but when I envision this it seems much too harsh. And I don't see any brush scratches in the fields of the coin in your images.

Very Educational. Thank you.

Thank you for posting this, I think without looking closely, it would seem like a no-brainer to pick it up if the cost was right.

Great photos of an often and common deceitful way to move a problem coin! Great job showing the raised edges from the whizzing.

I knew the main diagnostic for whizzed coins but to actually see it is great.
Thanks for the pics.
Well done.

Thank you for posting, very informative.

When I see a pattern of multitudinous nicks or hits, I always suspect whizzing. Such a pattern is obvious in the example you've presented. Even if not whizzed, there are other problems that scream out, "WALK!" First, if this coin has a lot of bag marks or scratches, it would likely not come back well-graded. Second, your example is a VF which simply won't have much luster (if any)except maybe in protected areas. For me, a VF with luster = red flag.

Great photos and narrative on the other elements that indicated whizzing as I was not aware of the metal "redistribution." Alas if only it could be seen in the average ebay photo.

Another "RED FLAG" would be any coin that shows wear, but is exhibiting proof or proof like surfaces.
