    Can anybody tell me if there was ever a matte finish struck in 1885 if not was there a prototype or a Judd Maybe? 20170327_230631.jpg

    Judging from the condition of this coin, I would call it a "circulation finish" rather than a matte finish.

    What is circulation finish? Is it a applied finish cuz under 30x magnification this finish on this coin has a unique finish I haven't seen anything of the sort I can even consider trying to compare it to

    "Circulation" - meaning that the coin has been used in circulation. You don't need 30x magnification to see the wear on it.

    This is what 130 years of environmental exposure can do to a Morgan.
