[QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 835485, member: 18157"]I just went through 100 1972 mint sets the other day. The 1972 set has cents from all three mints.

Unfortunately, I don't have any Unc rolls of the same dates for comparison, but I can get some. Can you describe the differences you see between the Mint set coins and the "business" strike coins? In a general sense, is it in the strike of the coin, the color, the luster...is there anything you can point to that gives us an idea of what to look for? Do the differences show up in a photo?
