    Assume? The old Felix Unger thing? Let's not go there. Show the obverse.

    From pic's? Danged if I know. The darned things are difficult to discern in hand, not to mention, from pictures........

    I mean that's a pretty clear picture I'll post it up in a minute. Just testing knowledge before I listen to an opinion is all.

    Knowledge has nothing to with it.........most experts can't tell the difference between a satin and a business strike.

    I always thought the even, toward flow of Metal from the Strike was a good indication of a standard business strike.. IMG_20160601_201424.jpg IMG_20160601_201451.jpg

    I don't see why the flip side matters much guys. It was a question asking if it was or wasn't a satin finish to a silver coin. I realize how much the answer will differ now that the date is known is all I'm saying. Does it look satin or am I crazy?

    It ain't 'dull' enough for a satin.......

    Haha you guys are good! "Not dull enough to be Satin" that's good considering satin silver coins were shinier than Business Strikes but more dull than a Proof. You guys crack me up..

    Compare satin ASE's with uncirculated bullion strikes........you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference save for the mint mark.
