<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vercingetorix, post: 56048, member: 3374&quot;]Long time listener, first time caller.</p><p><br /></p><p>Query: how have people been reacting to the new uncirculated sets?&nbsp; This is actually the first time i&#039;ve purchased an uncirculated set, and it seems to me that the new satin finish sort of misses the mark.&nbsp; Now, i don&#039;t have any complaints re: quality.&nbsp; The mint does a pretty decent job on that front -- not perfect, but pretty good -- and charges not unreasonable prices.&nbsp; It just strikes me that the point of an uncirculated set is to collect examples of a particular year&#039;s coinage prior to release into the stream of commerce.&nbsp; This satin set is lovely, but they seem more akin to &quot;proof light&quot; -- they&#039;re all there, but they&#039;re not what you&#039;d find in your pockets.&nbsp; Granted, this will make them easier to spot when someone (cringe!) breaks the set and spends them [i&#039;ve always wondered what people are thinking when they do this], but that&#039;s not really the point.</p><p><br /></p><p>anyway, they&#039;re still nice coins, and i&#039;ll be curious to see how the coin market feels about this first set of satin finish coins in a few years, but i guess i just don&#039;t &quot;get it.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>btw, if i missed the thread where youse guys were talking about this earlier -- sorry, i looked.&nbsp; pls chalk it up to bein&#039; a noob.</p><p><br /></p><p>v.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
