Sorry! I retired 8 years ago. I do not have a sand blaster at home o try on a Lincoln. BTW, what you said was "No one has been able to even come close to duplicating this coin by any of the above means mentioned." Since bead blasting had been mentioned. Since bead blasting had been mentioned, I assumed you were saying that someone had tried it.
I think you mentioned bead blasting in one of your prior post. Anyway, thanks for your input on this- appreciate it ! All I know right now is that no one, so far, has been able to duplicate the coin by any means that they want to try and use. Its my favorite, "POST-MINT" ( if it is post-mint) coin in my collection as of now.:kewl:
