Stephen-P Valued Member Japan 294 Posts	Posted 02/25/2021 08:32 am These early clad years obviously faced some incredible deterioration of dies, but if the post-mint condition wasn't scathed, would it affect the grade at all? I want to know this for future reference, but what could a coin like this grade out as? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Stephen-P Valued Member Japan 294 Posts	Posted 02/26/2021 07:17 am No, it's not whizzed. I was the victim of a whizzed 1886-O Morgan purchase so believe me, I know what they look like! Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19155 Posts	Posted 02/26/2021 07:26 am I'm not convinced it's been whizzed. Sure shows evidence of die deterioration--strong example. Report this Post to the Staff
Stephen-P Valued Member Japan 294 Posts	Posted 02/26/2021 07:31 am Please excuse the flip. A whizzed coin will have luster shooting in all directions, and certainly wouldn't have a cartwheel effect (which is almost impossible for counterfeiters to replicate as well, making fakes easier to spot). If a coin is altered in any way, it will be easily noticed in the luster first. This piece hasn't been altered. Report this Post to the Staff

I wish I knew the word to describe it accurately, but is it "speckled"? "flecked", etc. Seems off. Stay well, Diy89Nurm7 Report this Post to the Staff
