Newbie38 Valued Member United States 176 Posts	Posted 02/04/2018 12:00 am I guess it does on second look... would think a sand blaster would leave deep scratches. Thanks for looking Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75368 Posts	Posted 02/04/2018 12:04 am You're welcome. Just a good guess I have, but I will see what the others think. If you look up sandblasted metal, that's what your coin resembles. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 02/04/2018 12:07 am Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 02/04/2018 01:30 am The coin has been blow-torched. It has actually burned off impurities on the coin to give it that pitted/rippled look. Edited by Crazyb0 02/04/2018 01:33 am Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15571 Posts	Posted 02/04/2018 05:00 am it is not a capped die or struck through a capped die. Your coin has been physically abraded in some manner .... the exact method likely never to be determined Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
