<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 867438, member: 112&quot;]Chris I am assuming, based on your comments, that when you say MS68 &amp; 69 business strikes, you are referring to only the satin finish coins - is this correct ? I ask because prior to the advent of the satin finish 68&#039;s were quite scarce, 69&#039;s all but unheard of. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, do you consider the satin finsih coins to be business strikes ? Personally I would not as they not intended for circulation. That said, there are more than a few of the satin finish coins that are lacking the satin finish. And I also believe that the TPGs either mistake these coins for business strikes, or at the least grade them as business strikes because the satin finish is not there.</p><p><br /></p><p>While I have never searched bags of coins looking for high grade examples, there was a time when I searched mint rolls for them. Haven&#039;t done it in years though. I always thought that finding 67&#039;s was tough. Don&#039;t know that I would say that I ever found a 68, let alone a 69.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
