<p>[QUOTE="Coinchemistry 2012, post: 2152535, member: 28107"]When mint sets were first issued and up until about 2005, the purpose of these was to provide collectors with business strike examples of all the coins struck for that year. This is no longer the case as all of the new mint sets contain satin finish coins that are truly specimen sets, and not normal business strikes. Why do we need multiple special yearly sets: normal proof sets, silver proof sets, satin finish mint sets, and all of the variations therein (quarters alone, dollars alone, etc.) ,etc?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
