<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 312390, member: 112&quot;]All of the coins issued in the Annual Mint Sets, or other annual sets like the Pres. dollars, have the satin finish, they are the only ones which do.</p><p><br /></p><p>When the coins are struck using new dies the satin finish is easier to indentify. But as the dies wear the satin finish becomes much less noticeable and the coins look more like regular business strikes. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s kind of hard to describe the difference in the finishes with words, it&#039;s something you have to see for yourself. The luster is different - the way the coin reflects light. It&#039;s something similar to comparing the way the luster on a BU Morgan looks as compared to the luster on a BU Peace dollar. Once you see a satin finish coin side by side with an ordinary business strike, you&#039;ll know how to recognize it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
