the coins have a frosty look on the presidents heads,, lol I have never explained this before but kinda like a frosty glass look,,I hope I kinda helped,, you need to go check some out maybe go to a coin store or or course be hi bidder and win these lol They are really pretty with a mirror background,, you can see yourself,,you'd love them and if you don't have any in your collection you may want to add one and see if you like it,, these prices are very reasonable! Hope that helped a little more even :)
