[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 8602, member: 487"]Well circulation strikes are a far different process than mint strikes and proof strikes. The Mint will be issuing a couple of new sets this year with one of each of these types of strikes packaged together with a nice letter explaining the differences. If you order a mint set and compare the Jeffersons, you will notice a dramatic difference in strike and quality. When a coin hits the high grades, they are 95% of the time pulled from mint sets, not uncirculated business strikes. Quality is an issue that the mint has struggled with for some time now.
