<p>[QUOTE=&quot;onecenter, post: 357394, member: 8703&quot;]If memory serves me correctly, the satin-finish or burnished uncirculated coins in US Mint Sets became standard after the issuance of the Wisconsin state quarter dollar.&nbsp; There are some exceptions, the earliest of which are the 1993 Jefferson Nickel issued in a special set with the Jefferson dual-date commemorative dollar and the 1998 Kennedy Half Dollar issued in a special set with the Robert F. Kennedy Dollar of the same year.</p><p><br /></p><p>Therefore, we now have proof coins (clad and silver), burnished uncirculated coins from mint sets struck on special presses and dies and regular old-fashioned uncirculated coins that are struck as normal business strikes, but get &quot;rescued&quot; wrapped and rolled before they actually enter circulation!</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a long, long way from when I started collecting nearly 40 years ago when all we had was a five-coin proof set and a hodgepodge of uncirculated coins and not every coin was was minted at every Mint!</p><p><br /></p><p>Mark</p><p>Coral Springs, FL[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
