OK, I finally have a shot comparing the edge grinds on a coated blade from Ted Pella, and a blade from a 10 pack of GEM by Persona Super Stainless from Walgreen's. This is not the best picture ever taken, but I think it gets the idea across.
On the left is the blade from Ted Pella, on the right the blade from Walgreen's.
I think you should be able to see where the two grind angles are pretty different in length. As I've mentioned before, this still doesn't confirm or deny if the Walgreen's blades are coated.
