<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 2678347, member: 24633&quot;]I have to disagree with both of you. During the SQ program, I ordered countless $250 bags of business strike quarters from the Mint searching for high MS grades, and it wasn&#039;t until 2005 that this anomaly first appeared. Interestingly, it corresponded with the implementation of the Satin Mint Set program, and many of the business strike quarters from the bags almost looked like them except for the heavy polishing in some areas of the fields.</p><p><br /></p><p>Naturally, the Mint isn&#039;t going to bother telling the public that they used worn SMS dies for the business strikes. Why should they? It&#039;s not as though the business strikes were a special program. The fact that the SMS program was discontinued after only a few short years only serves to reinforce the belief that the SMS finish was a failure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
