Quote: So "uncirculated" set coins are different than business strikes. Whether the numismatic community wants to make a special distinction isn't yet clear.
Actually, mist set coins were different long before the 2005 satin fiasco, since 1968 I believe. The difference being a greater striking force.
And the "difference" wasn't recognized THEN by most collectors, nor should it be now, in my opinion. If the best BU coin you can find just happens 2 come from a Mint set.... then so be it! ......
