In other words, it's snot very smart!
When the amount of nose grease used is minimal, this type of alteration may be difficult to detect, since the area doctored may be essentially clear and quite small. When larger amounts are used, the surfaces sometimes have a golden or light yellow-brown color and may be slightly opaque."

"There are other ways to hide or obscure surface problems besides adding color or toning. The most common of these surface techniques is the application of "nose" grease. This combination of skin oils and other skin chemicals often is used to dull shiny spots on the high points of coins that may represent slight wear or incomplete striking. Sometimes this method also is used on tiny marks or light hairlines in the fields, thought it is usually easier to detect in the open fields than on high points.

For his next trick he will put them somewhere else.
And then probably back in his nose!
The ones that I have encountered with this type of doctoring have had a slimy, greenish tint similar to PVC damage . . .

I guess I should have opened the thread first before trying to get my answer.
Why weren't there disclaimers and legal warnings for this thread title? I thought half dollars would make it go faster. Am I gonna hafta sue?
Anyone want change for a dollar?
