For this piece, the strike is not perfect. The eagle's breast feathers are not sharp and the hair is flat above the ear. Of greater concern is the luster which has an odd, unnatural cast to it. I think that your chances of getting an MS-69 on that coin are nil, and if there are issues with the luster, you might get it back in a "genuine" holder.

well this one's simple...NO

A coin that looks so nice you'd want to look at it twice, I examined our fair lady under 600x in a desperate search for flow lines. While a few other peculiar abberations were notable (the rim nick actually should have been filed if he thought 69 was the right number), and others made me curious, nothing about the entire situation incensed me so much as that the seller would attempt to delude people into believing that anything less than a Himalayan hair curl over the ear would qualify for such an exalted grade.
Whizzing had been, until the Web opened up access to the uninitiated, mostly a lost art form. For its time, a major technological advance because of the ignorance that abounded. So dramatic was its success that the outrage educated the industry quickly.
A new generation will get to study frauds recorded going back to the ancient Greeks.
Brian Fanton, a fellow instructor in Intro to US Grading at Colorado Springs, pointed out the following to the class.
The metal moved by the whizzing brushes has to go somewhere. It pushes up against the devices, stars, rims, whereever it can go to get away from the field's bottom depth where the brushes have most leverage. This is a totally different halo effect than that sometimes seen as a toning pattern, but the visual cue might prove useful to some.
Would this coin be worth AU money.......just asking.
This type coin was probably easier to sell in the pre internet days. Thankfully, there are more educated buyers today.

<< <i>I agree it is whizzed. Is that doubling on the 1 in the date or just lighting.

yes. the 18 on the date is referred to as strong doubling for a morgan dollar. maybe a triple 1 and doubled 8.
worth au money, i certainly hope not

Pure stab in the dark, I told him $400 because I'd sold a holed Cleaned Bust S$1 to an Internet hokester for the same amount. I'd pay $200. Same as for the Bust S$1. Memoed, the second dealer to see the 89-CC after I noted "this is strange. Any idea? thanked me for the favor at $450. His customer knew what he was getting and would never own that kind of strike for less than $1750 otherwise. Repair for $100 and never an attempt to defraud.
I get it. It's a specialist's area
In the case of the 79-CC the intent to defraud is the raison d'etre, not as a love token for a miner's lady's a necklace.
What would be left afterwards if I subjected it to "artificial wear"? Seems the most ethical of paths other than destruction.

<< <i>It's whizzed. >>
Sadly, yes, the coin has been whizzed.
No, but it was probably treated with "MS70"... after they got done grinding down on the buffer, that is.

Also it has bids and I asked him if he knew it is whizzed as he does not state that in the auction.
