I picked this Indian cent up for $3.00 at the Antique shop today. Looks pretty sharp for that price .... I see rub but a very clean hit free planchet...
The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

It's not whizzed, and I'm not sure copper can be whizzed (the metal is much harder than gold or silver).

Copper can absolutely be whizzed. I'm not suggesting the coin posted in this thread has been (to the contrary, it doesn't appear as such), but copper can be whizzed. I owned an 1803 large cent in years past that was.
This is an old picture of the coin, I have no idea where the coin is today, to take better photos of it.
<< <i>This is a tough one to swallow...I payed $3.00 for this coin that obviously has some rub, but cleaned, or whizzed? I sure don't know what you guys are talking about! Where on this coin do ya see any signs of cleaning? So I guess it was just cleaned on one side, huh? I see no signs of cleaning, I see no hair lines. So I don't get it. For the amount I payed for the coin it's not like I'm taking a huge loss if there is a problem with this coin, but it sure would be nice to know where you all see signs of cleaning.......Thanks >>
It's a little hard to tell about the reverse---since you didn't post a photo of it. IMHO, the coin has definitely been to see the "coin doctor". But, that being said, I think you got a real bargain at the price you paid.
I agree with the above statement.....
