Ok, smart *** Edited by Staff | The bad word filter is in place for a reason. Bypassing the filter and making the intended word obvious anyway is completely unacceptable. ***. Post a pic of the other reverse.

It is impossible to tell from your image as the condition of the coins surfaces cannot be seen. Try different lighting to highlight the surface scratches/marks that you are talking about  Quote:

And so, by popular demand, here it is, the reverse of the reverse, the obverse  |

It's more of a texture thing. The whole surface has that look like when you pick a paintbrush up from a puddle of paint that's almost dry. Or like somebody blotted the molten metal off with a paper towel before it had set. I guess what I'm getting at here is there seems to be a uniform surface texture of some sort in surface areas that would normally be smooth.

that sounds a little like it was dipped for a short time in acid, probably trying to clean it.  |

If I may be so bold, whether reverse or obverse, please post both pics for a coin in question. It helps.

Monkeying around aside, I don't see any evidence of whizzing - on both reverses. Give the thread 24 hours for more folks to weigh in.

I don't see the whizz either. Also, if you click on the first pic it zooms. John1  |

I don't see any uniform or other indication of physical abrasive cleaning, I agree dipped. The surface looks like it has some sort of residue almost oil like that you'd find on a old tool in the bottom of a tool box.

i agree with most everyone here that the coin was dipped into something long enough to alter the surfaces. in any case it would receive a details designation

Thanks for all the responses, guys. I took a pass on this one, instead of taking a bath!

uhm... what's whizzing? That's not like cleaning a really dirty coin with a soft toothbrush is it? I do that on my really cruddy finds, usually in old houses that I am getting ready for new flooring...
