IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36844 Posts	Posted 06/20/2012 7:27 pm I see light horizontal lines running side to side in the fields on the obverse. Those lines stop at the lettering and eagle. Turn the coin in good light to see if you see that. Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36844 Posts	Posted 06/21/2012 9:00 pm Not whizzed dude, just cleaned with something abrasive. Whizzing was done with a high speed wire brush from center out to try to create a cartwheel luster. It does look like a very old cleaning based on the tone. Report this Post to the Staff
