<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3569516, member: 112"]Coins that actually have the satin finish look distinctly different than business strikes do. But describing that "look" is pretty hard to do with words, at least in a way that would actually help somebody. It's even hard to do with pictures because you can almost never trust that a picture of a coin will look like the coin does when viewed in hand. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, what to do ? Go to a coin shop, ask to see some coins that do have the satin finish. Then ask to see some regular business strikes from the same date. Look at them side by side - then you should know. </p><p><br /></p><p>And like I said before, if you're looking at a coin and wondering if it is satin or not - well, the simple fact that you have to wonder at all means you should just assume they are not and let it go at that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
