[QUOTE="dimeguy, post: 831877, member: 19855"]I will admit. I'm not an avid poster on the site, though I am an avid reader. I feel that I can find most info through web searching and books and will admit that I feel somewhat intimidated to ask professionals what seems like silly questions or questions that can easily be answered with a little work of my own. However, after some searching, I feel asking professionals is necessary...What is the deal with Satin coins? To be honest, from my understanding, the mint implemented the Satin finished for two main reasons: 1. To help people distinguish the collectible series from business strike uncirculated coins 2. To make the coins look better and more appealing If the two statements are the only reasons as to why the satins are created, here are my next questions: If the goal is to make coins look better, wouldn't spur more coin collecting (and I guess more business for the mint) to have these beauties circulating and not sitting in sets? And finally, Just in your opinion, is it worth it to have a set of satin and a set of business issue when collecting the recent issues? Thanks for the help.[/QUOTE]
