<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 1255493, member: 68"]Mint sets aren't necessarily feasible economically. And of course all you're really getting with a mint set is a very well made coin and not necessarily one that is high grade. In the last ten years there has been a lot of pressure on the mint to make nice quality coins. Before the states quarters no one collected from circulation and people didn't notice what junk was being placed into circulation. Also the lower relief has led to some improvements in strike since around 1994. All added together and with the greatly increased number of people searching rolls and change for gems it has led to many more nice coins coming from circulation and relatively fewer from mint sets. </p><p><br /></p><p>But it's still a safe bet that the finest coins are in the mint sets even if it's no longer economical to seek them out.
