Hey Y'all.... I've looked high and low for any information on this coin. It is very nice but it has a satin finish and while I can find other years that have this finish I haven't located one for 1960, is this an error or just that rare? I'm also questioning two other things. Does this have a die clash or an I seeing things. I also am not quite sure if I'm seeing Machine Doubling or doubled die.... As always all information and opinions are welcome.... Thank you for your time.       |

Thank you, I will investigate early die strikes more as I believe you are probably correct. Is this a nice coin in your opinion? Should it be preserved and maybe graded?

I like your coin since I'm a big fan of early die states, but they don't add to the numeric grade. Your coin might be MS-64, which is worth submitting to the board's grading forum here, but not beyond IMO.

The only satin finish I am aware of is the '36 proof. I think the finish on your coin might just be from metal composition and environmental factors. Nice looking coin, but just worth putting in a flip [not TPG grading]. Not seeing a clash, on the reverse it often shows in the third bay. Edited by CentSation

Very nice. It is so hard to find good ones from circulated coins. The ones I have collected from the 1960-1970 decades have so much damage on the letters and numbers. Thanks for sharing! I like the look of satin finishes.

nice good condition for a coin of this year. But I only see MD.

I just posted a question about Frosted coins. This is precisely the finish I was asking about.
So, it occurs in a dies young life?

since business srike dies are not polished like proof dies, they have a microscopic rough surface when their use begins, that roughness imparts a sort of frost to coins until the action of striking planchets gradually smoothes that roughness away

Only certain years have a satin finish. If they did make them that year, they are not a satin finish. Looks more like an aging surface to me.
