<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 532572, member: 4626"]I believe someone on this board said it best when he said something to the effect of "even a mintage of two is too high if only one person wants one." The lower mintage of mint sets is in direct response to reduced demand for such sets... meaning the market for them is saturated, or they would have minted more. Don't go expecting them to skyrocket in value anytime soon. The fact is, only collectors care about them, and not very many anymore, hence the reason they're not minting as many...</p><p><br /></p><p>And I've yet to meet anyone that can really tell the difference between a so-called "satin finish" and a coin that's just a good example of a business strike. What miniscule difference there is hardly justifies the price.</p><p><br /></p><p>I've never got why people cared about mint sets.
