What beautiful representations of our first president. The pancake-flat spaghetti-hair bastardization of Flanagan's 1932 quarter on the state quarters is a disgrace.

Whizzing for Dummies
in US, World, and Ancient Coins

The 1853 half seems to have been harshly cleaned with an abrasive, such as silica (sand) based scouring powder (Ajax or Comet), but not whizzed. Whizzing is much worse, since the high speed wire brush really tears up the surface of the coin (much like a Weed Eater does to a wood fence) Whizzing gives a distinctive glow that is easy to spot once you have seen it in person.
