<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Myron, post: 374628, member: 2163&quot;]I have always noticed that the coins minted at Denver for circulation always have a nice shiny look as compared to those minted at Philadelphia. I have noticed this for years. When sorting state quarters, for instance, I can tell which are from Denver and which are from Philadelphia without even looking at the mint marks. My sister also says there&#039;s a difference. Has this issue been addressed before? Why would Denver coins have a shinier surface&nbsp; while Philadelphia coins have a &quot;milky( cloudy)&quot; appearance?&nbsp; My sister says it&#039;s because the Philadelphia facility is older and has worn-out equipment. Aren&#039;t the dies used made exactly the same? Are the coin blanks polished in different ways?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
