<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 835691, member: 68&quot;]There bis a &quot;closeness&#039; to the grain on mint set cents (other coins a little too).&nbsp; These do look different than the bulk of cents made for circulation.&nbsp; But I think you get this same closeness on some of the well made coins that don&#039;t come in mint sets.&nbsp; As long as you don&#039;t claim to be always able to tell, I sure can&#039;t argue with you.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as &quot;knowing&quot; a coin is from a mint set or not this is possible only in some instances.&nbsp; For instance most varieties don&#039;t appear in mint sets so one of them can&#039;t be from a mint set.&nbsp; Other varieties like the RR &#039;88-P half was only in the mint set so these necessarily came from a set.&nbsp; It&#039;s probably pretty safe to say that every single PL gem made since 1965 came from a mint set but this isn&#039;t a certainty.&nbsp; PL&#039;s were issued to circulation and it&#039;s not impossible that one recieved a full strike.&nbsp; There&#039;s no reason a whole bag with hundreds of them couldn&#039;t surface.&nbsp; It won&#039;t, but no&nbsp; reason it couldn&#039;t.&nbsp; The coins simply wouldn&#039;t have even been noticed.&nbsp; They&#039;d just enter circulation like almost every other coin for the last 45 years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
