So this might be an example of a whizzed coin? Still there should be cleaning lines, correct?


No cleaning lines. Despite popular misconception, whizzing isn't done with a wire wheel - you don't need that kind of force to reach the desired objective. The only real difference between whizzing and polishing is the degree of severity; whizzing is strong enough to physically move metal. These days, I expect it's done with a Dremel and fiber wheel.

Thank you Dave. I guess the only way to tell is to look at the coin under the loop and look for the usual die flow lines.

Love to read your analyzing. I think you guys are right on. Looks like I removed something with the acetone that covered up the high 'polished' shine.

Amazing what one can learn here.

Thanks much
