<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 3271578, member: 76086&quot;]Its pressed, you can see how the flan is split and spread out where the pressure took the metal too far.&nbsp; The patina is chemically induced.&nbsp; You can see where there are odd areas of &#039;flowing&#039; toning.&nbsp; This is because the coin wasnt cleaned before they patinated it and likely it had some oils on the surface.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m still trying to wrap my head around the reverse.&nbsp; The photo looks like the &#039;unstruck&#039; area of the flan is lower than the rest of the coin.&nbsp; That would mean the coin die was made, hmm.&nbsp; I guess partially in the positive as well as the negative.&nbsp; Its not very well done.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
