If one were to take the 1932-D quarter that I pictured and wear it down to say Ch VF by carrying it as a pocket piece for a few years, it could be a "clean" VF coin. You would need to remove through honet wear a layer of metal to remove and hide the whizz lines so that they blend in with the normal cirulation marks.

Would you consider this to be doctoring a coin? Normally, doctoring is considered to be improving a coin through false or deceptive actions to achieve a higher grade or value. But this method would be actually removing the problem, albeit with the same goal.

It is possible to take a whizzed coin and wear it down a bit to remove evidence of whizzing, correct? Sometimes being a lower grade nice looking coin can make up for a higher grade, whizzed coin.

Bill, that half appears to be very nice. Yet another example of what a picture can hide. Could you maybe point out where the whizzing is, so that we can try to see it?

My Ebay ID is the same as my ID here, to keep things simple.

Are there any good books on Moroccan coinage, specifically of the French Protectorate period. I know of a couple, but neither of them are in English so they don't help me any.
