1999D Nickel With Frosty Finish Question?
I am going through several dollars worth of Jefferson nickels and I
have found a real nice 1999 D with a frosty looking finish. It does not have the spinning cartwheel luster of a normal coin, but wear wise it is a high AU. No marks, just very slight wear on the high points. No nicks, bag marks, etc. Rims are nice. Being that it is a flat frosty looking finish and not shiny and is a D mint and not a proof, is this what is called a Matte finish? I can see no signs of whizz marks. Why would anyone clean a 1999D nickel anyway. The only Jefferson I have on my long list of things to look for with a matte finish is a 1997. The finish looks proof like. Could this be a business strike on a proof planchet? Any input you might have on this will be appreciated. |
