    i've never seen coins with a "satin finish" in person, and i can't find any clear close up pictures of them on the internet. if anyone has some good pictures of them (with regular non-satin coins side by side to compare) i would like to see the difference, thanks!

    vision - just get yourself a 2005 mint set, then you can see what it looks like in hand.
