Last week, I picked up a gold plated highland mint coin, but to my dismay, I already had a version of it in my collection. It came with a massive commemorative Devil Rays ring in a box. Upon closer inspection, however, I found that the raised embossed face had an entirely different finish. The one I picked up yesterday had a much more dull looking finish in the embossed area, whereas the one I had already was smooth and shiny just like the rest of the coin. Both are serial numbered on the back (0021 and 0042).
Here is a pic:
It is very difficult to tell, but the rest of the coin is identical to each other in terms of shine. The tint of color looks to be a tad different, but that is it. The embossed section isn't dirty or tainted or anything ... it is clearly a different type of material, from what it looks like. Has anyone else noticed this? Of course, since there IS a variation I'm happy I bought it!
