But the doubling should be visible on God and there are Die cracks on the rev that are not present on this coin. Thanks for the additional information! Quote: I suspect it was chemically treated and then a felt wheel or rotary brush was used on it. Well, that sounds a bit better than "It has been harshly mechanically cleaned." I've never heard of a felt wheel before, but that sounds a lot less harsh and perhaps explains the lack of wire brush marks. Quote: Yours is a beautiful coin with all the meat on the bones but I suspect that it's going to bug you as much as mine bugs me. Wellllll... Maybe not. I think had I paid $200+ for it I'd definitely be peeved every time I looked at it. At $80, however, I'm thrilled to get such a sharply detailed example for a price I could afford. Remember -- this wasn't purchased as an investment and it's never going to be slabbed -- I just wanted a really sharp-looking example for my 7070 album. As you said, regardless of what has been done to it, it is still a beautiful coin.

trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 03/13/2012 6:10 pm In my mind a felt wheel or rotary brush is harshly mechanically cleaned. I also associate the rotary brush with whizzing & wondered if that was what nohope thought was the case with this coin. I normally think of wire brush marks on the coin when I hear harshly cleaned. I definitely wasn't seeing that here, but the surfaces of the field looked artificial to me. I can't tell if thats the picture, if someone used a dremel tool on them, or if someone used another method to smooth the surfaces. Report this Post to the Staff
