<p>[QUOTE="brg5658, post: 1319052, member: 29751"]And I believe Doug already answered your question when he pointed out that coins in Mint Sets have been specially struck since the early 1990s. Thus, I wouldn't suspect there would be any more ultra high grades in 2011 than in say 2002 or 2003 (pre-Satin Finish). Unless they changed the process in some way from 2004 that is...I believe the mint set struck coins still fall into large bins after being struck, but they are struck slower and at higher pressure. They will still suffer from "bag" like nicks and blemishes for the most part.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your google remark, I have tried that and found mentions to car paint finishes. Not very helpful. I'm looking for an official or more detailed description of the minting process, not some dictionary definition of what made it on an "About.com" website.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
