[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 6568600, member: 105098"]the mint set coins are the ones with the satin finish, any other format to get them other than the mint set is the business strike finish, with the exception of the proof coins of course. it took me 4 boxes of 2005 P cents to find just one I thought was worthy of a higher than average grade back in 2005, however it's a heck of a gamble sending something like that for grading when a MS67 sells for like $20-$80 and a MS68 is top pop and hasn't sold. Meanwhile the satin finish coins from the mint set, thousands graded SP68 or SP69, and a SP70 will sell for $1200 or more. I guess what I'm saying is, the business strikes, to get graded, it's a heck of a bet on your grading skills and the line between 67/68 is pretty small. but it's the difference between $20 and.... who knows how much really? LOL and that's just the cent, this is repeated over and over again for all those years of the satin finish mint sets,,, and the business strike coins.... nice ones are very few and far between. with the satin finish, the majority of the coins sent for grading were coming back 68 or 69. So, long story longer, if you want a serious chore to find nice business finish examples, go for it. but you can get slabbed satin finish in 68 or 69 for $20 each or less while the vast majority of the business strikes will grade out to MS65 or 66 if you are lucky, or just not worth bothering to send in.[/QUOTE]
