Rsxtacee Pillar of the Community United States 737 Posts	Posted 03/03/2011 2:33 pm I've been seeing this in a few of the coins I search through. Same coins with the same mint mark/year, but the finish is different. Once again, sorry for the bad pictures. The top nickel has a sort of frosted finish. Can't really capture it with my phone, but you get the idea. Just want to know if this a natural occurrence or just normal wear. Under the loupe, it looks fine to me. Thanks!

upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3278 Posts	Posted 03/03/2011 2:59 pm I would say some are definitely nicer than others. Sort of like the difference between an exceptional BU coin and a run of the mill MS60 Report this Post to the Staff
SPQR Valued Member United States 327 Posts	Posted 03/03/2011 3:21 pm Yeah, I run across those sometimes, mostly in the 2000-2004s. Not sure just why but some have an almost satin finish before the mint came out with the satin finish mint sets in 2005. Report this Post to the Staff
thecoinczar Valued Member United States 455 Posts	Posted 03/03/2011 7:01 pm Take a look at Morgan dollars. When comparing coins from the same year and mint there are vast differences in the luster and the strike. No two are ever exactly alike even though they could have been struck in sequence of each other. Report this Post to the Staff
Rsxtacee Pillar of the Community United States 737 Posts	Posted 03/03/2011 11:42 pm Hrmmmm....All right. Just seemed odd to me that I've been finding those years and the finishes were just so different without any apparent damage to the coin. . That's why I'm here. To learn! Thanks.
