    I guess he doesn't consider scrubbing with steel wool to be marks. At least he's providing an image that makes it pretty obvious.

    Scrubbed so bad you could almost see the reverse from the obverse side.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    An obverse photo of this coin should be in the dictionary under "whizzed", best example of it I've seen. Why couldn't it have been a Frankie!?! Such a beautiful bust damaged so. Still a cool coin though image

    No, no, no. A whizzing -- well, at least a good whizzing --usually has lines that need magnification to see...

    I can still see a noticable mark above the head to the left. They better get out the sandpaper again image
  • wait a minute- there are NO marks on this coin..

    He whizzed them all out!

    I got a sandblaster that leaves no marks after a powerful stream of air is placed in the mix!
