<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 283879, member: 68&quot;]Mint set coins of the clad era&nbsp; always average better struck and from much newer dies than roll coins.&nbsp; They usually average a little better for having fewer marks but there are numerous exceptions to this.&nbsp; Usually the quality of circulation issues and mint set coins parallel one another very closely as they rise and fall but they are independent and there are a few dates where roll coins are as good or better than mint sets.&nbsp; Keep in mind though that even the dogs from mint sets will be well struck from new dies and these can be rare in circulation.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Since 2005 the mint set dies have been plated and this imparts what they call a satin finish.&nbsp; These coins are different than the circulation issues the last few years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
