<p>[QUOTE=&quot;onDvine, post: 40753, member: 2195&quot;]This nickel has an even, crinkly finish, like a very delicate foil was even more delicately crumpled.&nbsp; Definitely isn&#039;t glossy or matte, but is also definitely not merely roughed up by outside forces.&nbsp; Even the side of the edge/border is crinkled all the way around.&nbsp; It reminds me of a finishing style I&#039;ve seen used on cheap metal objects...perhaps similar to the surface of a piece of metal pipe for plumbing?</p><p><br /></p><p>Tomorrow, I&#039;ll try rotating the coin by a quarter-turn and re-scanning to see if the light hits it any better for showing it.&nbsp; There&#039;s a line (more of an implied line) on the reverse as if the light hits from slightly different angles on the different sides of the line.</p><p><br /></p><p>Meanwhile, I&#039;m hoping someone will have an educated guess about what might do this to 100% of a coin&#039;s surface.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
