<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 957931, member: 24633&quot;]Ever since the Mint introduced the SQ Program, the cost of buying &quot;one of everything&quot; from the Mint has gone up and up and up. About 6-7 years ago, you could have bought one of everything for about $9k. Now, that has risen to about $20K.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I stopped buying the Uncirculated Mint Sets when they introduced the satin finish in 2005. Until that time, if you wanted a high-grade business strike, you had the best chance of getting it from the Mint Set. Now, the only way you can get them is from bags and rolls. But, there is a method to their madness. If collectors want to fill sets with both business strikes and satin finishes, they have to buy, both, Mint Sets and bag and/or rolls. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#039;s just another ploy to separate you from your money. I&#039;ll stick to searching for Sac &amp; Kennedy business strikes from bags &amp; rolls. It&#039;s cheaper in the long run. The heck with the satin finish!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
