    Hello. I understand coins found in 2005-2010 mint sets have a satin finish, which is different than the brilliant uncirculated finish found on 2005-2010 coins in rolls/bags. This is quite apparent with most denominations that I've seen except with the Kennedy half dollars. Those half dollars look pretty much identical between mint sets and rolls/bags, at least to my eyes. Does anyone know if Kennedy half dollars were produced with satin and non-satin finishes between 2005-2010? Thank you.

    I'd say yes, both finishes, because they were in the mint sets (satin finish) and you could also buy them by the roll/bag (BU finish.)

    2005 was the best of all the years since it was the first and the US Mint wanted to impress folks with their new "gimmick".

    After that, it went all down hill as they figured out ways of screwing it up.

    Population reports will attest to this fact except for 2007.
