[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 895107, member: 24633"]No! It's not "either way". There is a big difference. The Mint has really made strides in improving the proof program, and PF70 coins are not as hard to come by any more. Also, you didn't specify whether the MS70 coins that you say are everywhere on eBay are business strikes or satin finish coins. Again, there is a big difference. Since 2005, all of the Mint Sets are produced with the satin finish. The coins are not produced like ordinary business strikes, nor are they handled like ordinary business strikes. They are produced and processed in a way much similar to the proof coins, and as a result, 70's are turned out with much more regularity than ever before in the history of Mint Sets. If you search eBay for MS70 Business Strikes, I will be surprised if you find any at all. Chris[/QUOTE]
