<p>[QUOTE="davidh, post: 2641948, member: 15062"]I don't think it has been blasted or chemically treated in any way. Why? Because there is no evidence that the facing parts of the rim have been affected. Chemicals would have affected all parts of the coin. Blasting would do the same unless it was <u>very</u> carefully masked prior to blasting. Also, the surface appears to me to have raised mounds rather than micro-divots like blasting would do. Mounds would suggest the die was blasted. I'd like to see closer photos of the surface and the rim from a couple of angles.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
