2016 D dime satin finish?

Is this a satin finish? Maybe plating issue?Looks like some die wear also. Thanks.

I think that was struck on a worn die.

 

I thought the Mint discontinued using the satin finish.

Ya, they did Chris ...

 

I did too, but it looks like it. I'm not that familiar with them, so that's why I'm asking the more knowledgeable.

 

They had trouble last year with die preparation and it looks like they still continue to have the same issue .

That what I heard from the big wig at the local coin show after seeing 40 dollars of them .

 

Thanks Rick.

 

So, I guess I didn't understand the answer. Is the die preparation such that it's not smooth and causing the look of a satin finish? Do you know if this was from the master die or poor quality of the working dies? Thanks again!

 

Appears to be die deterioration. But not a satin finish.

 

I agree. You can see the parallel striations moving outward toward the rim.

if it looks like this one, then it's improperly annealed ......
Should be grayish black in color

I have the 2016 D Dime that is also frosty on background and mirror finish on stamped face and lettering. Perfect looking coin. Perfect edges and everything. First one I have seen like this.
