<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 112858, member: 66"]The dealers are full of it. If the satin finish is missing in spots it is because of one of two reason, ither small scape marks from coin to coin contact or mishandling, or two the die is starting to wear and it is losing the satin finish. If the "spots are shiny then it is contact. If they are just dull but still show luster then they are probably die wear. The satin finish is not real durable so from time to time the mint has to refresh it by striking an eagle through a layer of fine emory cloth[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
