blemish satin finish

I presume has been damaged, else why the blemish.

Proof like is not a full proof surface, as in proof sets. Common among Morgan silver dollars, with different degree of reflectivity.
Specimen set: I believe was produced by the Canadian mint as special collector coins.
(Feel free to correct me, if I am wrong.)

 

specimen set

there were other countries also producing specimen set. like the philippines. by looking at it. it looks like proof like and blemish satin finish.

 

By chance do you mean "burnished" satin finish coins, like the 2005-2007 mint sets and the 2006 W and 2007 W American Eagle coins??

 

yes

yes it is burnished satin finish. any different with proof like?.

 

price list

why there were two prices for mint set and proof set listed in any coin magazine or price list?. like there is low and high. what you mean by that?. is that low for buying and high for selling?. or is that low for poor quality and high for better?. anyone?.

 

I know that the Coin Dealer Newsletter shows both a "bid" and "ask" price for coins in their publication. These are the prices a DEALER bids for, and asks of another DEALER for coins in various grades (eg. XF, AU, MS60, MS63, and higher).

 

Yes, blemished and burnished are VERY different.

 

get out the clearasil

 

i need more explanation

please give more detail and explanation on low and high for mint and proof set on the magazine or price list. thanks.

 

low and high

maybe i will put it this way. for the low. set with dirty box and coa, case with scratches, missing any original things such as without coa or without box, some coins lost luster, with light scratches and with hairlines, coins with black spot, and so forth. for the high. set with completeand clean coa and box, coins were like perfect and shining and brilliant. set like just acquire from the u.s. mint. if i am wrong. just correct me.

 

why only sets?.

but the other prices were using average price. why only the sets they are doing that?.

 

It gets confusing huh? I know what I did when I got into coins and it has helped me a great deal and that was read! There's some great books out there . In particular I found "The Coin Collector's Survival Manual" by Scott A. Travers very informative and you might want to pick it up. It's a good place to start and addresses all the questions you've brought up and more.

 

question again?.

will it be a set is better condition than the other?. example: like one set is just like being bought new from the mint. everything intact. the other set is like second handed with dirty boxes, missing coa, toned coins. and so forth. tell me......

 

continue.....

but if we sell it to the dealers. maybe they don't classify that way. everything might be the same what they want to pay us. usually at low end.

 

comparison

what is the different between silver dollar before world war II as a proof coin and modern uncirculated dollar as satin finish?. they just look alike to me.

 

different

is there any different between mint direct shipment to customers (250 coin per box) and the $1,000.00 per box which we get it from the bank?.
