I need a Whizzed coin

[physics-fan3.14]

Anyone got one they would be willing to let me borrow in the name of education? I'll pay shipping both ways, but I need to look at, examine, and photograph one in hand. This will be for an upcoming WYNTK article.

 

I need a corroded coin as well.

 

If anyone has an early american copper that shows porosity, I would love to be able to borrow it.

 

If I can't get one in hand, detailed pictures will be the next best thing.

 

Thanks y'all!

Jason here is a couple of EAC's with porosity.

grade_it may have some examples to send ya.

 

But then again, you would have to subscribe to his ideology and support his agenda!

I have a Franklin half that has been buffed, not whizzed, whizzing moves metal, buffing polishes, actually smoothing the surfaces.

 

Let me dig it out and look at it again.

 

It's hideousness! It was shiny shiny when I got this in a lot about 15 years ago, and now it is turning dull gray...blech.

 

It would be a good example of what a buffed silver coin would look like in 15 years, that's about all.

That could be useful as well.

let me know if this will work for whizzed.

Jason,

 

I have a whizzed AU Barber Half Dollar. Is this what you are looking for?

 

 

 

[Coindude]

Lee, great example of a whizzed coin. I'm sure Jason could do better, but he'd have to search hi and lo.

[physics-fan3.14]

Yes, Paul, that is.

But how can you smooth the surface without moving metal?

It's strictly a hypothetical statement as to the method proposed. Whizzing a silver coin with a high speed wire brush, along with moderate pressure will move surface metal faster than a high speed cotton wheel infused with jewelers rouge. Of course both methods will eventually "move" metal, but they do generally differ in surface texture and in most instances, the method of "doctoring' can be identified.

Here are pictures of a 1921 Peace dollar that has been whizzed. The coin is in a NGC AU Details slab. I would not want the coin cracked out however. I can take higher resolution pictures. This is just a scan.

by filling the low spots with clear polish

I bet that Great Southern Coin has alot of pictures and examples for you to use.

Doctors have been applying shellac (and other adulterants) to make coins surfaces appear better than they are for at probably close to one hundred years. It is too easy in most cases to see the coating and it may damage the surface of the coin, plus they are hard to remove.

A novice tryed to wizz the fields on this UNC 1895S Morgan to make the fields look smoother and gem

 

 

Are you making a post on surface problems? How about an 1895 proof Morgan that has been overdipped and whiped?

 

 

[physics-fan3.14]

Ray, are those coins yours?

[Walkerfan]

That's painful to look at!

They are in my possession but they are not my coins. These are from my uncles collection. He has been a numismatist for over 50 years. Too bad he never learned how to evaluate coins. He paid problem free price for both of these coins. Luckily most of the other morgans in the (full) set are decent.
