<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tin_Man_0, post: 3573663, member: 100189&quot;]That&#039;s my doing. The coin is in a case surrounded by a foam donut that&#039;s probably making look alot worse than it is. The coin did come from circulation so I&#039;m not sure how much to attribute to just circulation. But that&#039;s not a bad guess either, a sonic sanding machine could do this, but I still don&#039;t know. I will add that the area where the lettering is on the reverse and all around the shield there is less of that &quot;frostyness&quot;.....</p><p><br /></p><p>Actually, good call on checking out the edge, the edge of the coin displays the same frost, but squished like it was rolled. I&#039;m going to guess that maybe the planchet was like this before it was minted? Anything else you can think of I can check to verify?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
