<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 836034, member: 68&quot;]There&#039;s another difference between mint set coins and regular issues that I keep neglecting to mention.&nbsp; Dies are more carefully hubbed.&nbsp; This is not universal.&nbsp; All mint set dies don&#039;t have better hubbing than regular issues and some years there may not be much difference.&nbsp; But a date like 1978 you can really see this effect.&nbsp; The detail and design are &quot;crisper&quot; on most mint set coins than on regular issues and this isn&#039;t an artefact of striking.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t believe they were hubbed more times but rather just more carefully and more precisely.&nbsp; This might be related to the inordinately large number of double dies on mint set issues, especially in the early years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
