<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 838951, member: 112&quot;]In recent threads I&#039;ve tried to explain several times, but just can&#039;t be done with words. It can&#039;t be done with pictures either. You have to see the coins in person, side by side to see the differences because the diffrences are subtle.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I&#039;ll try one more time. Think of the various finishes on coins like the various finishes of paint. They even use the same names - for obvious reasons.</p><p><br /></p><p>The finsihes are listed in rankings according to the way they reflect light, just like paint is. Those listed first reflect the least amount of light. Those listed last reflect the most amount of light. They are - </p><p><br /></p><p>1 - matte</p><p>2- satin</p><p>3 - business strike</p><p>4- brilliant Proof</p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing I can say about a Roman finish is that it is like a satin finish, but a bit rougher in texture.</p><p><br /></p><p>And in the end texture is it for all of them. As the texture becomes smoother and smoother then the more light it reflects.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
