<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 2780258, member: 68&quot;]Higher pressure and lower speeds are intentionally used on all mint set coins and have been since 1965.&nbsp; Dies are swapped out more often so crisp strikes are far more likely. </p><p><br /></p><p>But many dates of mint set coins have their own particular problems from bad surfaces, retained marking, scratches, or even shallow scrapes as seen on most &#039;80-D half dollars.&nbsp; There is a very high correlation between mint set quality for any specific coin and populations of high grades awarded by the services.&nbsp; This is because most high grade moderns were issued in mint sets.&nbsp; The few that were well made for circulation almost all became circulated because these coins were, and are being ignored.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
