What A Whizzed Bronze Coin Looks Like

When I see a pattern of multitudinous nicks or hits, I always suspect whizzing. Such a pattern is obvious in the example you've presented. Even if not whizzed, there are other problems that scream out, "WALK!" First, if this coin has a lot of bag marks or scratches, it would likely not come back well-graded. Second, your example is a VF which simply won't have much luster (if any)except maybe in protected areas. For me, a VF with luster = red flag.

Great photos and narrative on the other elements that indicated whizzing as I was not aware of the metal "redistribution." Alas if only it could be seen in the average ebay photo.

Another "RED FLAG" would be any coin that shows wear, but is exhibiting proof or proof like surfaces.
