Satin finish coins are struck with higher pressures than business strikes. Satin finish coins undergo special handling to help prevent contact marks, they are not just dumped into giant hoppers and then bags like busines strikes. </p><p><br /></p><p>The dies used to strike the satin finish coins are not used as long as the satin dies are. And the dies and the planchets for the satin coins undergo special preparations before they are struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>All of these things combined result in a higher quality product. That&#039;s why so many of the satin finish coins are graded so high. Before their introduction, MS69&#039;s were almost unheard of. Now they are common.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
