bishftl Pillar of the Community United States 1020 Posts	Posted 01/20/2015 01:26 am Why would this proof look like a business strike. Is it possible to polish away the mirror finish and not damage the coin too much? Report this Post to the Staff

bishftl Pillar of the Community United States 1020 Posts	Posted 01/20/2015 01:48 am but could it be cleaned to the point of having no mirror finish left at all? Wouldn't that take a long time. Report this Post to the Staff

It is very possible to have no mirror finish left. It may not take very long, depending on how it was cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
