Owner's Description

This is an example of a T2 Blank. Shown is a 5 cent Nickel - The Type 1 Blanks go thru the Annealing Process. This process starts by sending the blanks into a heating furnace where these blanks are heated to very high temperatures in order to relax the medal. From the furnace the blanks are loaded into perforated rotating drums that will chemically wash then dry and tumble polish these blanks. This process could take several hours to complete. When you view the edge side of this blank you will see a slightly polished and weak view of the cut rings that were prominent as a type one blank. The top and bottom surfaces of these blanks are now shinny-clean but will show contact marks from all of the tumbling. These are the chief characteristics that NGC utilizes to attribute this disk as a “Type 2 Blank”.
