<p>[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 7966698, member: 46237"]I almost never buy directly from the US mint because I generally don't care for modern issues. My experience is largely ordering from foreign mints, for which there are usually a few different finishes and set types available. I am used to expecting the absolute very best mint products (business and collector finishes) to top out at 68 with most at 66-67, and for proofs to at best have a shot at 69. If those grades sound low to you, they shouldn't. Those are all hypergem coins! The expectations of US collectors for mint quality always makes them come off as spoiled to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
