[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 452965, member: 307"]With the advent of the 2005 Mint Uncirculated Set, the US Mint stopped putting regular circulation strike coins into Mint Sets. Up until that point, Dealers (as well as many collectors) would break up Mint Sets for high quality uncirculated examples of each coin every year to put into their collections and albums. Problem is, with the Mint Set coins now having a special satin finish they are clearly different from the regular circulation strike coins. For a collection to now truly be complete, not only do you need a proof coin, and a satin finish mint set coin, but now you also need a regular circulation strike example. My question is, where do you find the circulation strikes for your collection? Do you pull an example out of pocket change as you find them? Do you not bother with a "business strike"? Do you break open rolls from the mint bought at a premium (as in the case of Sacs, Presidents and Kennedys) ? How do you get yours?[/QUOTE]
