Is this an example of whizzing?

No that's not whizzing. Whizzing will display as many lines on the coin...usually pretty deep. It'll make the coin look like you hit it with a wire wheel from a dremel power tool...which is what some wackos do! lol I don't have any pics of whizzed coins but I'm sure someone here does.

No, actually it looks pretty nice. I think it`s bid worthy if you`re going for it.

Here`s a whizzed coin. The rainbow color on the cheeck is a result of scanning and not on the coin. A whizzed coin looks like polished chrome. I bought it a few years ago as an example and don`t intend to sell. It does have some " craters " that where polished down and if polished anymore, there wouldn`t be any details left. It was graded as F12 when I bought it.

Thanks

I just thought the surface looked strange, kinda bubbly or something.

A side note: I see both obverse and reverse die clashing on this coin.
