[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2741470, member: 71723"]You're talking 2005-2010, wherein the difference was OBVIOUS - a whole different finish, but that's an exception. Most years, a TPGS has no way to discern a real "business business" strike from an uncirculated set strike. THEORETICALLY, there could be a way to tell later-in-the-year releases of quarters from their corresponding uncirc. set versions, since the latter now exists and the former doesn't yet. Canada has a different theory - strike any stinking finish you can imagine, and then go imagine some more, every year. By the way, at the October 2016 meeting at the Philly Fed (just the building made some bullionistas fidget), the Mint announced, to that crowd in attendance, hand-picked by them, that reverse proof SETS were coming.
