This is an odd coin. I'm not a strong morgan guy. I've spent a lot of time with during the the last 2 days. The reverse looks good, good luster. The obverse is granular around the periphery and lustrous. The obverse fields appear to slant down or in and back up close to the portrait.The portrait looks flat but has some luster.

Whizzing: Term to describe the process of mechanically moving the metal of a lightly circulated coin to simulate luster. Usually accomplished by using a wire brush attachment on a high-speed drill.
