<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 2641948, member: 15062&quot;]I don&#039;t think it has been blasted or chemically treated in any way.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; Because there is no evidence that the facing parts of the rim have been affected.&nbsp; Chemicals would have affected all parts of the coin.&nbsp; Blasting would do the same unless it was <u>very</u> carefully masked prior to blasting.&nbsp; Also, the surface appears to me to have raised mounds rather than micro-divots like blasting would do.&nbsp; Mounds would suggest the die was blasted.&nbsp; I&#039;d like to see closer photos of the surface and the rim from a couple of angles.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
