2021 Una and The Lion Round - Issue with finish?

[nomadstacks8]

Hello all, my fist foray into The Silver Forum….🖐️

Looking for some insight..

Issue: I purchased a couple St. Helena 2021 Una and the Lion 1oz silver rounds from APMEX, and they arrived today.

They arrived in the customary individually sealed plastic “bag”…and upon opening, examining and testing, I noticed a haze on the deep areas of ALL the rounds both obverse and reverse…although not a proof, I’m disappointed in what may be the QC of the mint during the polishing/finishing process.

Question: Has anyone else noticed the same issue with this round….OR conversely, have normal (for a non proof) polished finishes on their rounds.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

that "strange" finish of mirror areas is on the all rounds, I have the same, and my friend as well.

So no any quality issues with yours

Look a bit weird, but, from the other side, it's not proof, but BU...

Thank you so much for the feedback..!

I feel much better, strange finish for sure.
