Hflirn Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 03/24/2015 02:18 am Perhaps. The high points still have definition though. I considered maybe a liquid could tarnish it. However there is a separation of shiny nickel and flatness on the edge. Report this Post to the Staff

Hflirn Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 03/24/2015 3:27 pm Interesting concept. I know that there have been proof coin errors (2007 & 2010) that had what some referred to as a "light finish" error, which lacked the vapor blasting finish. However, this is not a proof coin.
