supgog Pillar of the Community Israel 2420 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 11:18 am A bit of wear on the features makes it a circulated coin. I agree diamonds are unnatural as well. I'm starting to think all of this coin have a somewhat fake luster. Report this Post to the Staff
Eklections Valued Member United States 171 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 9:22 pm The surface color, ware and unnaturally smooth fields really bothered me on this coin as they have bothered many of the CCF members. I had never considered someone would re-cut the diamonds but they look too well defined for the condition of the rest of the coin. Just how this coin was doctored - I'm not qualified to say but I'm hopeful someone will chime in to indicate how this is done. The bottom line is that I truly appreciate an honest assessment of the coins I post without pulling any punches. My goal is to learn as much as I can about how these coins were modified and learn to recognize the signs when I see them. Your un-restrained inputs are essential to my learning process and are very much appreciated. Marty Report this Post to the Staff

It's hard to say for sure form a photo, but the coin may have 'doctored' dipped, toned, worked on to apppear a higher grade. Report this Post to the Staff
