<p>[QUOTE=&quot;statequarterguy, post: 772558, member: 21782&quot;]I have seen some mint sets that appear to look better than others, so I agree, at times it may be easier to find gems in these sets, which may ad significant value to the mint sets.&nbsp; Yet, at times, they do appear to be pretty banged up.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Any comparison of mint sets made prior to 2005 and mint sets made from 2005 on with the high grade satin finish coins, is like comparing apples &amp; oranges.&nbsp; The mint sets prior to 2005 may offer an opportunity to find high grade examples of high mintage coins, which does ad value to these sets.&nbsp; The mint sets made from 2005 to date offer high grade satin finish coins that are a distinct easily identifiable variety that are low mintage.&nbsp; The search for the high grade satin finish coin centers around the MS68/MS69 level within a low mintage population and the MS68/MS69 satin coin is one beautiful coin to add to your collection. These satin finish coins offer a perfect example of, &quot;Buy the coin, not the label&quot;, as these mint sets are not mint sets in the historical sense, they are sets that offer a well made examples of a distinct variety of coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
