<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TopcatCoin, post: 1093443, member: 22746&quot;]The US Mint issued a press release today announcing the upcoming release of the 2011 Uncirculated Mint Set (much earlier than usual):</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.usmint.gov/pressroom/index.cfm?action=press_release&amp;ID=1206" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.usmint.gov/pressroom/index.cfm?action=press_release&amp;ID=1206" rel="nofollow">http://www.usmint.gov/pressroom/index.cfm?action=press_release&amp;ID=1206</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The satin finish is not longer used in these sets.&nbsp; However, if you read the description in the above link it states:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;United States Mint uncirculated coins are struck on special presses using greater force than circulating coins, producing a sharp, intricately detailed image, and feature a brilliant finish.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><u>Questions</u>:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Are you buying?</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Are the coins in the uncirculated set considered business strikes now that satin finish is gone?</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Will we be able to distinguish them from coins released to the banks, etc.?</p><p><br /></p><p>4. Do you think the TPGs will now designate &quot;brilliant finish&quot; instead of &quot;satin finish&quot; or &quot;SMS&quot; on their holders?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>TC[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
