<p>[QUOTE="izapem, post: 40324, member: 2357"]Please forgive my ignorance. Is it possible to distinguish between an uncirculated high grade business strike coin (let us assume a Washington Quarter from the 1980s as an example) and the same coin that was broken out of a mint set? Did the mint set coin receive a better planchet and/or better stiking or handling?</p><p><br /></p><p>2nd part of same question.
