The 1936 dollar is definitely polished and everyone should see that.
I still see the 1957 differently.
Maybe I'm missing something, but it still looks PL to me.
The 1957 quarter looks completely different to the 1936 $1.

I agree doubleeagle59, the 36 dollar doesn't show striations like the 57 quarter and the shine isn't the same but I have seen silver dollars polished before.

The photography and lighting is different but the coins do exhibit some similarities (at least to me). The surface on both coins looks to blended in. With respect to the striations visible on reverse, these are in different directions in different areas of the coin. Also, if you look on the obverse of the coin around the shoulder and neck area you'll notice some bumps. This area often shows sign of wear that on this coin seems to have been smoothed out. Also note the softened bag marks on both coins. Usually a result of polishing. This could very well be a PL coin but even if, I really think someone wanted to give it a little extra "buff"....

I think you are absolutely right. Just received the coin and will get up some new pics in the next day or two. There is wear on the obv. that doesn't show in the original pics. A little disappointed but que sera, sera with coin collecting.

That 1958 listing is NOT PL it is a business strike from a very highly polished die pairing .1958 is a year where you get this effect frequently. It is quite hard to find nice Cameo contrast business strikes in either 1957 or 1958.

I'm sticking with PL and not polished.

Looks like an original PL but not sure the surfaces haven't changed...

seen those marks in front of the Queen many times . Agree PMD .Having said that this would not be the first mint set coin to get into circ. Me thinks P/L .Polished ? to me the jury still out Still,a beauty |

The second pic posted of the rev shows very light linear striations in the field, not on devices, which implies pl.
Though I'm Not as confident as before, because I see what appears to be retained luster deep between the denticles, which implies a polishing, and luster does not exist on pl strikes.
As I said before it would be helpful to capture an unflattering image of the coin, with light not spread out diffused over the entire surface. We need to see if there is any hash markings on the surface, which would imply a polishing.
Jury is out for me too

This is probably a coin where it needs to be in hand and rotated to look for any PMD type polishing. It is too much of a camera, lighting and angles game. If the op is happy, awesome, if thinking about TPG, probably best to get another set of experienced eyes on it, as a details grade would suck. I have seen some great looking coins in photos and some great looking photos of junk coins. I wouldn't buy this one unless seen in hand, burned too many times. If untouched, nice coin. |

Was a nice coin but yes, something was off. I wasn't going to take a chance sending it in, had my doubts looking at it up close. Seller graciously gave me a refund never asking for the coin back. I sent it back anyway and took the hit for the return shipping...no biggie.
