biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 11/28/2011 11:52 am I see a small patch at the point of the beard but there may be others no so easily seen. Hairlines can be tough to pick out in a photo because viewing them is light and angle-dependent, you really need to have the coin in-hand to get the full story on a coin with hairlines.

DavidZerbato Pillar of the Community United States 1081 Posts	Posted 11/28/2011 12:00 pm My guess would be you had this slabbed and it came back as details/cleaned? I dont' see any hairlines, but it may have been dipped previously and retoned. To me, the toning is reminiscent of an old cleaning. Report this Post to the Staff
brokencompass Valued Member United States 451 Posts	Posted 11/28/2011 5:43 pm http://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/C...=2760272-008 It has surface hairlines on the slab but no cleaning mentioned. This is not my coin but I saw this coin at an auction and did not notice any surface hairlines. So wanted to make sure I was not missing anything. Like DVCollector, I noticed just toning and a weak strike. Report this Post to the Staff

It is also worth remembering that a coin when examined in hand allows hairline scratches to show up, because of the movement of light relative to the scratches. Report this Post to the Staff
