To quote the description...
<< <i>Due to the extraordinary planchet quality, we suspect it originated in a Mint Set. >>
That would make it a super common satin finish coin. Should Heritage pull the lot?

I would appreciate hearing the diagnostic that you used to tell that it was not from a mint set.

fully qualified with "does not appear" and gave a choice of either the description changes or pulling it (holder wrong)...
Anyway, the reverse shield is not satiny enough for me.
But it's hard to tell. It'd be easier if they sent me the coin for review... perhaps I could even take it out of its holder...

This
Some submitters do it intentionally to get the mechanical error and sell the coin for much more than it is worth. It changes hands several times before the mistake is caught.
That coin sold without being verified??
I've seen thousands upon thousands of the 2010 D Business Strike Shield cents along my screening journey. That coin clearly looks Satin Finish to my eyes. Without it in hand I can't be sure but from what I see that would be my opinion. The 2010 D Business Strike coins all look to have a nice shine to them, not a matte looking finish as this coin exhibits. Also from what I see in the pictures the obverse has what appears to be orange spots which is typical for SF coins. Business strike examples have much darker, almost black spotting. I don't think I've seen a 2010 D Business Strike coin without some amount of these black looking spots.
The most recent fix of 2 Satin Finish Quarters in a Business Strike holders was corrected. From what I understand there was a sale for one of the 2 coins. The second was pulled from eBay by the seller. He then sent both coins to PCGS for verification. Both coins were re-holdered as Satin Finish, good job PCGS and all those involved with getting this fixed (including Wondercoin). And especially the seller for doing the right thing.
Again just my opinion on the coin, If it is truly a Business Strike coin Congrats to the maker!!! If it is not I sure hope it may get corrected someday as smoothly as the SF Quarters were.
I hope the winning bidder of this lot does come forward and agrees to send the coin to PCGS for verification of its business strike status. Because if it is truly a business strike coin, as you mention, it IS a very scarce modern coin!
Wondercoin
for whatever it is worth i've seen quite a few of the newish lincoln cents, mostly with a very bright finish and others kind of normal and then a large number of satin finish looking coins.
thought about posting threads on them but never did. not sure if it helps/hurts/nothing but those are my observations from very little looking and those were strictly from pocket change.
if i find time, i should still have them around here and i'll post pics.
