[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1554240, member: 112"]The reason you never heard of it back then is because it didn't happen then. Until the '90s, can't swear to it but I think it was '92 or '93, the coins the mint sold in the annual Mint Sets did come from the regular circulation run. It was only then that the mint changed their policy and began a separate special minting of the annual Mint Set coins. And it is important to note, that once removed from the original mint packaging, there is no way to distinguish the coins from the Mint Sets from the business strike coins. Some do and some don't. It just depends on the person. In the years to come the satin finish coins will probably be thought of that way. I imagine it will be similar to how collectors think of the SMS coins from '65, '66, and '67.[/QUOTE]
