KYCopperCoins Pillar of the Community United States 1361 Posts	Posted 08/20/2020 7:29 pm Another coin I purchased locally today. Not the nicest strike ever, but definitely problem free. Frosty as they get. Report this Post to the Staff

KYCopperCoins Pillar of the Community United States 1361 Posts	Posted 08/20/2020 7:51 pm it's in hand coinfrog, the strike is weak, but it has frosty cartwheels, definitely not cleaned. It's like it has a dark undertoning with frosty luster, hard to explain so here's a video. 3XOEHzN4hy4 Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36905 Posts	Posted 08/26/2020 10:08 am VF-35, altered surfaces (whizzed). Usually they would only do that on an AU coin to try to stretch it to MS. Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 08/28/2020 12:11 am The pics do make it look pretty suspect. Very flat, dull luster. But the video does show cartwheel, and a quite frosty luster. If it were whizzed, you wouldn't have that effect. I'll be the minority with this being a very weak struck UNC Report this Post to the Staff
Ploopy Pillar of the Community United States 1788 Posts	Posted 08/28/2020 01:28 am It's definitely whizzed, here's a good thread explaining whizzing https://www.cointalk.com/threads/wh...coin.196059/ Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 08/28/2020 08:51 am Thanks ploopy! I definitely see where the whizzed folks are coming from now. Pretty apparent on the reverse with a raised lip on a number of the devices. Report this Post to the Staff

Usually they would only do that on an AU coin to try to stretch it to MS. It likely was AU (or very close) before they got to it. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
