Based on the look of that coin I suspect it is NT all the way. And the holder it is in rather tends to confirm that.
Oh, and for the record, before I get accused of being against this idea because of my comments here on this thread. Peter asked me my thoughts...
Challenge coins are usually like an award. For example, the armed services offer many to soldiers who accomplish a given task, complete a class or...

For those who think computers can grade coins - do you consider cabinet or roll friction to be wear ? And if so, does any coin having cabinet...
