bsshog40 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I know that pics can be deceiving, but here is a 2cent piece I aquired thru a generous give-away ATS. Care to to guess? rrantique and Hoghead515 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWB Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) Nice prize! (Very generous donor, too!) Edited April 24, 2022 by RWB bsshog40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingAl Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 UNC Details Obverse Scratched was my first impression. Very nice coin and a great giveaway from ATS. I remember a discussion about this coin and the giveaway but I don't remember the grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1384 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) Deceiving looks ? Wish mine looked that nice. There’s some pitting around the 2. I’ll try 60. Edited April 24, 2022 by Dave1384 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkFeld Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I’ll go with Unc. Details, Obv. Scratched and/or Questionable Color/Cleaned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsshog40 Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 So the scratch showing at the bottom of the obv is not that bad really. The light is reflecting it. The one that the light didn't catch very well is by the Trust banner which is a little worse. Here is what PCI called it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieR131 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 MS 62 and staying with that guess although MarkFeld put doubts in my mind. A nice prize bsshog40.. bsshog40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieR131 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Whizzed around the 2 maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsshog40 Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 Yea, I put a small magnifier to it and didn't see any hairlines. Could be an old cleaning? Mark has a good eye! It's starting to tone a little here and there also. I was really fortunate to win it as I think it's still a pretty cool coin. It also looks like it has a nice die crack under "States Of" also.

May have had some environmental damage in that area and cleaned. It has some minor pitting in that area that I don't see anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically, when a coin’s been whizzed, it’s over the entire surface area. Since the process is used to simulate mint luster, there’s not really a good reason to alter just a small portion of the coin. bsshog40 and RonnieR131 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errorists Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 That coin isn't whizzed. If you want an example of of whizzed coin check out my Avatar.. RonnieR131 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whizzing and cleaning aren’t always apparent in images. And I can’t tell anything by viewing your avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woods020 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) This was a very generous giveaway. I would not have guessed whizzed by these pics myself, but we all know pics are difficult to work from. The surfaces do not appear that smooth to me. This is where having the coin in hand to see the cartwheel, or lack thereof, would be very helpful.Regardless a nice coin for a giveaway.

bsshog40 Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 The coin had some very nice luster to it. I'm not familiar with the series nor the type of toning they get. It has a little nice blue/purpulish color to it. I've seen whizzed and polished coins and usually you can't get away from hairlines with either of these methods. Maybe so!!! I would never have guessed whizzed if it hadn't been on the slab. I personally like the way it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not picking on the coin, just trying to provide a hopefully-helpful assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingAl Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) Now that I really look at the coin, I do have to agree with whizzed. It does have the raised metal at the tops of the letters commonly associated with a whizzing. Edit: I do still think the coin will be detailed for the scratch as well if submitted today. Not trying to rip on the coin, it is a rather nice example and a great giveaway. Thanks for sharing!

I don't plan on doing anything with it anyway. Keep it in the slab and put it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmarguli Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) I was going to guess UNC Details, Whizzed before seeing the slab. The surfaces don't look natural - regardless of the color.

Hoghead515 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Very nice gift. Even if it is whizzed. Its got a great look to it. Cant beat a free 2 cent piece no matter what condition. Its a wonderful piece of history. bsshog40 and RonnieR131 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieR131 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Professor Harold used to hold some giveaway contests here. I thought they were fun. I don't really have anything to give away, but maybe someone (Slightly Evil) does. Maybe someone from HA could contribute, write it off as advertising.
