<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 2136452, member: 24633&quot;]In 2005, the Mint began producing the Uncirculated Mint Sets in a satin finish rather than the standard finish of coins intended for circulation. They used a combination of glass beads and granules of sand to blast the surface of the dies. It wasn&#039;t too many years later (can&#039;t remember the exact year) that they discontinued the satin finish. It&#039;s my guess that this was done because the finish on the dies didn&#039;t hold up too well, but that&#039;s just my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Silver was not used for any of the satin finish coins. I don&#039;t think they use &quot;FB&quot; (Full Bands) on Rosies. I believe they use &quot;FT&quot; (Full Torch).</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
