<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AZSteve, post: 4782215, member: 114396&quot;]Being retired, recently widowed, and Covidly-distanced, I found my Whitman folders and re-started coin collecting after 55 years.&nbsp; Had previously bought a pack of uncirculated State &amp; Park (1999-2011) Quarters from Littleton.&nbsp; Been through a huge piggy bank and probably 50 rolls from our bank so far.&nbsp; &nbsp; I&#039;m surprised at variations in finish of newer coins.&nbsp; I have seen State &amp; Park quarters with an almost flawless mirror finish, and I have seen the same with what I would call an almost flawless matte finish. Even same year, same design, same mint. I like both if no dings/scratches. Same for some Roosevelt Dimes.&nbsp; Also, some coins, usually matte, appear to be a bit bluer, what I would describe as almost like aluminum.&nbsp; So, concerning both issues: 1) why is this, and 2) which should I keep for my collection?&nbsp; Sorry, no picture ability yet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
