This coin exhibits what appear initially to be some hairlines, however, under magnification they do not appear to be hairlines in the sense of having been cleaned, but rather the type of lines that are nearly always found on the British 1902 Matt Proof issues, even in mint state. This coin has slightly matt surfaces and we note similar lines on other Goetz gold pattern pieces.
