[QUOTE="Midas, post: 52637, member: 2761"]There was a good reason to come out with SMS sets in 1965, 1966 and 1967. Reason? The mint made no PROOF sets and collectors were faced with coins without mint marks. They wanted to buy something!! Now this is the other end of the spectrum! Business strikes, Proof Strikes and now Satin Strikes...oh my! I am not happy as I used to look forward to the plastic bags from both Denver and Philadelphia.

Also, I waited till the end of the year to buy a MS67 or better PCGS SAC $1. I figured that strikes coming in the Mint Sets should be better than business strikes. Now they changed the rules and I can see it now...I will need a 2005-P+D business strike, a 2005-S Proof, [B]and[/B] a 2005-P and D Satin Finish (SF) to complete the year for just the freakin' SAC dollar.
