disagree with whizzed - but definitely cleaned -> lines go every direction -> like someone scrubbed it with a towel or kleenex after soaking it in something. ANACS would probably call it scratched and net grade it EF40 or EF45.
I have purchased whizzed coins, primarily to see what they look like, they don't scan like that. Lines are finer, I think its a matter of semantics on what grading companies calle whizzed. It was lightly cleaned alright, lightly cleaned by a bulldozer.
I thought whizzing could be wire-brushing also,but that may be just what that is and whizzing is,like Dog says,from a `buffing`,as in a polishing wheel on the lathe,or handtool. Different cleaning methods i guess do have different affects and thus have their own specific names to identify them all.
Cleaned with a Bulldozer..Yes...Whizzed I do not think so. The hit to the right of Miss Liberties right shoulder would be Filled in if the coin was Whizzed. Also I see no metal movement as a whizzed coin will show.
Looks like Harsh Cleaning and not Light Cleaning as the Auction states.

Thanks for the replies everyone, every now and again I get a "wild hair" to go looking for something that I can't afford. Kind of like looking for ways to spend money I don't have. I think seated dollars would be one of the best ways for me to accomplish overspending. However, I don't want to end up broke and with a piece of junk.
Gilbert I guess it does depend on what tool you use but a proper (huh?) whizzing is done with a cloth wheel which polishes the coin leaving small hairlines that you need magnification to see.
Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...

Whizzing leaves smaller lines that you can't see with the bare eye.
Doesn't it really depend on the "tool" you use?
