Fields look a bit off, I hope it isn't polished.

Hi Jammin' - what makes you say that the fields look a little off ?

 

I'd love to hear your point of view.

 

Cheers.

I was thinking the same thing. Notice how they look a bit shiny. A coin of this grade should show luster, and not be reflective. After looking at hundreds of coins, you start to develop a sense of what looks right and what doesn't. This coin may be just fine, remember, pictures are very deceptive.

I don't know if the fields are off, but I do know enough about JJ's knowledge to know I would believe what he says.

[JamminJ]

Really you can't tell from the photo but it wouldn't shock me if this coin has problems.

 

There seem to be numerous small scratches in the fields which end near the devices. That could be from some type of abrasive cleaning which couldn't reach into small crevaces. Also the high points of the portrait have a buffed look to them.

 

Again, I hope I'm wrong.

I have one very similar to Zar's and it too displays the same kind of proof-like surfaces. Mine is not cleaned or polished; I suppose it's either a very early die state or maybe came from proof dies (but I doubt it). In any case, I can't say if Zar's coin is polished or not.
