Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74624 Posts	Posted 06/23/2018 02:39 am Wow, that's pretty weird. It has that look of being sandblasted, but I don't know. Maybe the Copper plating was stripped off for a science experiment? Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
vietguy823 Valued Member United States 186 Posts	Posted 06/23/2018 02:48 am It look like showing pure copper, but it zinc copper plated. It did not look like sandblasted to me. If sandblasted it will destroy the surface due to high pressure. Edited by vietguy823 06/23/2018 03:31 am Report this Post to the Staff
