What is a Matt finish?? and what is up with the 1995 D.. Post strike?

The 1995 looks like it is divided almost across the center and the color is off??

Matte finish is where the mint either sandblasted the dies or the coin itself.

 

Possibly sand blasted.

 

A "Matt finish" is when Matt Kenseth actually wins the championship in NASCAR, instead of choking like he did this year.

Just kidding, Bonniesue! I think I'm the only Kenseth fan in the southern US!

 

That's OK I'm a football nut and I root for the Patriots in WHO DAT Nation..LOL

 

Well he grew up on a farm 100 yards out my sisters back yard. I'm good friends with his cousins ant Aunts and Uncles. His sister used to run a video store.......anything else you want to know

 

Cool story. He's my favorite driver. Wish he was still in a Ford.

Matte cent find it in a hay stCk everytime

 

Not sure if you are serious or not cletis...

 

I am lost...its painted so what am I missing here?

 

Weren't the early "Mattes" done by sand blasting, but the latest are ones are done by the acid method. Not sure. Then you have the other finishes. The satin finish, it's done by a laser system. The regular are cleaned up, and the proofs are highly polished and then acid etched to give the frosting effect.
