    If it is satiny looking, it looks rougher than a regular coin. Looks is the only way to tell.

    The best way to learn is to get a 2006 US mint set, which is done in a satin finish, and compare it to the coins you have laying around. Or better yet buy a 1980's mint set (which aren't in satin finish) and compare that way. I'd show you some web pics but I fear the difference might be too subtle.
