Scarp9603 Valued Member United States 280 Posts	Posted 05/26/2017 3:08 pm A collector friend of mine showed me two 1976-S Bicentennial Silver Eisenhower dollars. One was in a PCGS MS68 holder and was a bright white with a brilliant finish. The other was in a PCGS MS66 holder, and was bright white with a Satin finish. Are there any other 1976-S Silver MS Ikes out there with a Satin finish? Edited by Scarp9603 05/26/2017 3:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/26/2017 4:16 pm I am not sure I understand the question. There is no "satin finish" for the Bicentennial Ikes. The two 40% silver Bicentennial Ikes were available in an uncirculated three coin set and a proof three coin set. Report this Post to the Staff

This is what I am thinking too. May be what held it back from going higher. Can't say for sure without seeing photos though. I found this from Heritage Auctions. It describes the difference between UNC, Brilliant UNC, and so on. I believe this may help when looking at coins in this high of grades. https://coins.ha.com/tutorial/coin-grading.s Report this Post to the Staff
Scarp9603 Valued Member United States 280 Posts	Posted 05/27/2017 11:35 am Is it possible the MS68 "satin" was mistakenly made from a proof die that never had the fields polished? Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 196946 Posts	Posted 05/27/2017 11:45 pm For what it is worth, I think the surface on your "satin" silver looks similar to mine, which I has some of the white cloudiness to it...

I thought that at first, but I have found a few examples online that look as brilliant.
