Strong mechanical doubling. If the 9 wasn't so rounded and shaped so strongly, I'd have guessed it as post mint damage but it's too much shaped...
NT and pretty nice.
You can find some very nice copper in some of the older PCI holdered pieces.

Had a friend who went to China and there is a very popular spot where there is a huge flea market. He picked me up several different types of fake...
