<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1871298, member: 112&quot;]The mint has NOT used coins from the circulation runs since the early 1990&#039;s. Since then <u>all</u> annual Mint Set coins have come from a special production run. And yes, they have all been struck with higher pressure than coins produced for circulation, and the dies were not used as long (didn&#039;t strike as many coins per die) as those used on circulation coins. And of course the satin finish coins were produced from special dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>In general, since the early 1990&#039;s annual Mint Sets coins are of higher quality than coins from circulation runs. I don&#039;t know that I would use the word unique to describe annual Mint Set coins, (since the change in the &#039;90s), but they are absolutely different than coins struck for circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prior to early &#039;90s, yes, annual Mint Set coins did come from circulation runs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
