I'm a new here, but I love old coins, and my favourite of them all is the St George and the Dragon Crown Coin designed by Benedetto Pistrucci .

I picked one up the other day that looks a bit weird to me, it is in good shape but has clearly been cleaned/polished in the past :(, but it's so much nicer than all the others I have.

However it appears to have a mirror like finish and the helmet tassels all appear doubled, and the cloak edge and parts around his neck also have very fine double edges. I'll post some pictures that try to show it. 

Is it just a particularly good strike?
