A large portion of them didn&#039;t even have the satin finish because the mint was over-using the dies that first year.

All I can say is that I have not seen the complaints voiced that I used to see. </p><p><br /></p><p>But what I have seen is a huge increase in the numbers of 69s in the pop reports. But like I said, I attribute that increase more to the TPGs loosening standards than I do an in increase in quality from the mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I&#039;m telling you is that the pop reports would be a very bad gauge to use in order to judge the quality of the coins for that reason.</p><p><br /></p><p>The best way to judge the quality would be to go to a show and look at a whole lot of sets with your own eyes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
