Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 08/10/2011 10:13 pm The seller had a 7-day refund, so I will be sending the coin back. I managed to get an image of the hairlines. (Was not an easy task) Report this Post to the Staff

rjkingston Pillar of the Community United States 642 Posts	Posted 08/11/2011 4:50 pm From that angle the harsh cleaning is quite pronounced.... Not sure how that couldn't show up on the original scan without some tweaking, altering. Definitely send it back. Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 08/11/2011 5:07 pm It's too bad. That coin looked very nice in the seller's pics. I was wondering if the type of light and/or the angle could mask the hairlines. Report this Post to the Staff

Well, I am looking at this coin right now, under a normal incandescent light bulb, and I can only see a few faint hairlines, at a certain angle. But when I look at the coin under a LED light I can see a lot more hairline scratches, at a couple of angles. Quote: Not sure how that couldn't show up on the original scan without some tweaking, altering. The hairlines only show under certain lighting for some reason (Like mentioned above). When I first received the coin and inspected it, under incandescent lighting everything looked fine. The coin had great detail, very few marks, and full luster.

Not sure how that couldn't show up on the original scan without some tweaking, altering. Generally, you can only see it under certain types of lighting, and even then usually at only one angle. Direct sunlight is best. That's a true shame. Report this Post to the Staff
