2013 Sacagawea possibly on a satin finish planchet

#1 Unread post by MarkCarter »

I just purchased a 2013 P&D set. When it arrived the first thing I noticed was the Philadelphia Sacagawea does not look like the Philadelphia Presidential dollars. Sacagawea is very muted whereas the Presidential are all shiny. I compared it to the Denver where all are shiny I then compared it to a 2009 Satin finish set i have and it looks identical. Any suggestions.

That's because they "tone " differently .

It doesn't mean anything major. Could be toning, or different die stage, etc.

Think of all the countless possibilities that can happen to an individual coin. Different chemical exposures, different humidity levels, different environments, etc. the possibilities of differences in surface appearances is almost endless.
