<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1082838, member: 112&quot;]I can&#039;t recall the exact year, Conder might be able to, but I think it was in the &#039;90s that the mint made a switch in where the Mint Set coins came from. Prior to the switch all Mint Set coins came from regular circulation strikes. After the switch the mint began a separate mintage for Mint Set coins where the Mint Set coins were struck on (the mint&#039;s words) specially handled and washed planchets, struck with higher pressures than regular business strike coins, and then specially packaged. </p><p><br /></p><p>It continued that way until 2005 when they began producing the satin finish coins for the Mint Sets. It now appears they are going back to the separate mintage for the Mint Sets.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think it will be hit and miss to some degree just like it was in previous years. As a general rule the nicer coins came from the Mint Sets, but there were some examples where the nicer coins were found in rolls or bags of regular business strikes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Time will tell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
