<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jody526, post: 177699, member: 578&quot;]Hi.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t know about &quot;conventional wisdom&quot;, but I can tell you what the Mint says.</p><p>The US Mint uses the term &quot;uncirculated&quot; to refer to the special coining process used to make coins for their anual Uncirculated Mint Sets..&nbsp; Uncirculated coins are manufactured using the same process as circulating coins, but with quality enhancements such as slightly higher coining force, early strikes from dies, special cleaning after stamping, and special packaging.&nbsp; Uncirculated coins may vary to some degree because of blemishes, toning, or slight imperfections.</p><p><br /></p><p>My own personal experience has been that&nbsp; nice, eye appealing coins are more likely to come from Mint Sets, than from bags or rolls.</p><p>There are always exceptions, but the odds of finding coins with less marks, seem to favor the Mint Set coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
