Rare Satin Finish Quarters

Furthermore, “at times the U.S. Mint has produced and sold “Satin Finish” coins. These are different than the normal circulated examples. Additionally, satin finish varieties refer to the type of finish of a quarter.

Furthermore, the quarters appear matte, unlike their proof counterparts, which have reflective fields. They’re struck in higher quality, when compared to the coins for mass circulation sold direct from the U.S. Mint to collectors.” – GreatCollections

Proof-Like Quarter Varieties

Furthermore, satin finish coins have a different appearance than proof, proof-like, or business strike coins. Moreover, these coin aren’t mirror-like. However, they’re more glossy in appearance.

Additionally, satin finish coins are struck on special sandblasted or “burnished planchets.” Furthermore, the 2020 D Weir Farm Connecticut mint wrapped quarter roll appeared shinier, and indeed more proof-like.

Compare the difference between the glossy appearance of a satin finish strike and a normal business strike finish as an example using the examination of a 2020 W Weir Farm Quarter found last year.

Some say the United States Mint no longer produces satin finish quarters, and hasn’t since 2010. Could they’ve produced satin finish 2020 quarters by mistake?
