<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kortgawain, post: 59099, member: 3520&quot;]I saw a comment the other day on the Forum about the new &quot;satin finish&quot; coins causing a difference in collecting.&nbsp; I believe it is leading to a new coin type that will result in a run on mint sets, but surprisingly also lead to a run on business strike coins also.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the SF coins are to be delineated by the proffessional graders (which has and is continuing to happen), it appears that the albums and resultingly the collectors will be wanting identifying holes in the albums for 2005 SF and 2005 NonSF (or business strike).</p><p><br /></p><p>As a result, maybe we should be looking for nice business strikes for our collections.&nbsp; Since the US Mint is nobody&#039;s fool (well at least not mine; I can&#039;t even get a 2005 Coin and Medal Set), is this a concerted effort by the Mint to reinvigorate the collecting of all coins or at least to cause some more interest in all of the common coins for all collectors, including the young who can&#039;t afford the expensive coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t believe the Mint can express surprise at this when the matte treatment of the Jefferson and Kennedy coins in years past created substantial interest and differentiation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts from anyone???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
