VKurtB Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Serious question: In your opinion, what is the right designation for the nickels in the 1994 and 1997 Coin and Currency sets? They were specially struck from sandblasted dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were specially struck from sandblasted dies. I got one of the 1994 sets. The one that comes with the Thomas Jefferson silver dollar. The nickel has some beautiful toning on one side. The other side is blast white. The sellers called it a satin nickel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, where've I heard that before? Why those new centennial Morgans and Proofs! How can I forget? They're the ones I ordered... and never received.
