Satin finish

3 posts in this topic

I know that there's a satin finish on the 2010 cent. Is it possible that the mint screwed up and accidentally minted several 2019 cents with the same finish? Reason why I'm asking is that I opened up a roll today,  and found one possibility two with what looks like a satin finish on them. Can't submit any pictures right now, but will soon.

No, not possible. The satin finish required specially prepared dies, that were “sandblasted“ with very fine glass beads. They stopped doing it. That said, dies do change appearance over their use life.
