nickelsguy Pillar of the Community Canada 2301 Posts	Posted 11/22/2021 7:18 pm Once a coin is polished or whizzed.....it can not be undone, Time will re-tone/color the coin, but the underlying damage will be done. FYI cartwheel luster is not caused by whizzing on all coins with cartwheel luster. Look at a MS Geo 5th nickel 5 cents. Report this Post to the Staff
Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 11/22/2021 7:51 pm Iv been looking at whizzed coins and videos of luster on whizzed coin, including examples on here. Also I couldn't find an article about whizzing effecting weight or not? If anyone has a good link to whizzed cents please share. I believe there is no chance I just got this on ebay for 4$ without it not being what everyone is saying it is. I want to know how to tell the difference in hand. My photos quality is just a cell phone in random house lighting nothing specific. Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 11/25/2021 01:13 am Here is a good example of a fairly modern whizzed coin. The thing is, people who do this coins usually take a nice AU example, to try to make it look mint state.

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 11/25/2021 09:08 am That's just unfortunate. People destroying a really nice coin to try and "improve" the coin. I would have expected it to effect the weight but I guess very little metal is actually removed. Thanks for the examples. This coin would have easily been worth 4$ if it was raw as there is a lot of detail. I have been seeing a lot of old large cents that I stayed away from due to them looking whizzed, they have been getting a ton of bids and selling for well over what they should. A harsh lesson learned. I'm just glad I didn't spend 40-50$ to learn the lesson Report this Post to the Staff
