<p>[QUOTE=&quot;statequarterguy, post: 958107, member: 21782&quot;]In addition to all mentioned above, the satins are also struck with more pressure, making them closer to a matte proof than a business strike.&nbsp; Although I still collect business strikes, I think the satins and silver proofs are the only ones worth speculating on, due to their low mintage.&nbsp; It&#039;s sad but true, 2005 &amp; 2006 sets have better quality coins and the lower mintage later sets have poorer quality.&nbsp; Looks like the mint started handling them more like business strikes, producing less high grade examples, in an effort to lower production cost and increase profit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
