Is it Satin?

So anyways gentleman.. correct me if I'm wrong here...Matte is the Dull finish that absorbs light, rather than reflect it, correct? And Satin is a Shiny, smooth Sheen that evenly reflects the light, but not to the point of a high gloss, correct? I mean I could be wrong with my definition, but as a occasional painter, I've come to know that difference. In terms of coins, the 2005..for example.."Satin" SMS coins are in fact Matte in appearance, right? For whatever reason, when it comes to my definition (along with Webster), Satin is Matte according to you guys in the coin world?

You know I'm sure that the 65-67 SMS Satin finished sets aren't dull by any means. That's a true comparison as that would be why this was struck in a different finish. Not new bullion bars. Satin metals are actually quite reflective as well. Look at brushed steel and aluminum and satin Nickel interior accents.

 

Shoot.....all of my 65-67 SMS look 'proof' to me.

 

You're absolutely intolerable and ignorant. 1965 SMS SATIN.

 

Funny you couldn't tell without knowing the year but as soon as that was posted it's plain as day. I'm quite amused by your ridiculous attitude but its certainly a love hate kind of amusement.

 

From that photo? The joke is on you my friend. Learn yourself better photo techniques.......

 

Tell ya what friend......I'll break a few of my SMS's out in the morning and photo them up. Till then, have a pleasant evening.

 

It's still in the Cello buddy it was the same angle as the half. This is absolutely pointless

 

So what's your point?

 

My original point is how fast your response changed when you knew it was a 64. It was in an entire set held in an SMS holder with these..

 

Seem legit to me

 

Go have fun with yourself..........

 

Did you know that Paul McCartney was in a band before he got famous with Wings?

 

Lol from when he was 15? Ah The Quarrymen. Good tunes there buddy!

 

Perhaps you're older than you pretend to be? Or maybe you like good music........let's be friends.......

 

Spencer Davis

 

I appreciate a good tune when I hear it. The Beatles MADE the music world what it is who doesn't like the Beatles !? Coins aren't the only thing I appreciate from 1964.

 

Recon ya got something there........

 

Gimme Some Lovin...Days of Thunder movie don't care for them. This is great woohoo

 

Stevie Winwood........
