Can someone post a picture of a very SILKY silver coin?

It's hard to describe what I mean by silky. I don't mean a bright, shiny, overdipped mess. I mean a high quality, hard-surfaced, smooth and silky silver coin. I know it when I see it, but I don't have any pictures. For those who might know what I am talking about, can you post a pic for our viewing pleasure?

that's about a Canis silverestii isn't it?!

edit: a dog, that is, compared to the color of the other stuff we've seen RYK lightening his load of lately!

Will this fit

It's modern but this one I got from Richard fills the bill IMO.

This one seems silky to me. Seems to have a very matte finish to it, some color throughout and a very clean coin. Tell me if this is what you thought.....

LindeDad is the closest so far to what I am thinking. More pics are welcome, though.

Take care not to confuse silky luster with satiny luster.

So of the pics posted which fit the bill for each category?

I doubt the pic will come through big enough but the roller lines could be your corduroy.........

I've always liked the look of a SLQ just because it seems they tend to be silky. for Modern stuff a silver Ike is nice, then real modern anything in matte starting with the 94 SMS 5C is also nice.

Not sure if this is silky, maybe frosty

LucyBop · September 28, 2007 1:41PM

KNOCKOUT LUSTER!

A Walker with nice original white skin can have a silky look to it. I actually like them all white with an original white skin like we used to see in the old days. Unfortunately, most have been dipped out these days for the almighty grade, and dollar.
This one that I own, escaped the dippers!!
