I stopped buying Mint Sets after I received my first order of the satin finish sets in 2005. About 80% of the coins were MS70, and I knew that it would be a waste of time. Heck, if I were still buying the Mint Sets, and I received a shipment that had any MS68&#039;s in it, I would return them to the Mint because of the poor quality.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
