Fairly certain they were finished with satin on mint set coins after 2010 because people didn't like it. For me it wasn't that I didn't like the satin finish. It was simply that by purchasing the mint set you really didn't have coins that were representative of the ones struck for circulation. |

I'll wait to see them at a coin show and see how much dealers are charging for one.

While the mint set coins are minted at a slower speed with higher pressure, making them technically different from business strikes, they were still similar enough that an early die state business strike could look better than a late die state mint set coin. However, the satin finish took the differences to the next level, a half step away from being proof. |

 Well, I guess the mint is just slacking. Checked the website this morning and was still processing but the package was delivered at 10:30Am this morning, and now the website says "delivered" and all that jazz. When I get home from work today I have something to look forward to.. besides cold hamburger helper..... Edited by Big-Kingdom

Got mine today! The standard issue coins all look great. Here's the 2019-W cent - overall looks pretty good, there's a slight toning mark on the obverse around 2:00 that shows depending on lighting. Good enough for free I guess.   |

If it was a typical mint item that you'd pay for, I'd call them and ask them to send a call tag so I could return it. However, this was "free". I don't see it as being worthwhile for me or them to go through the hassle of returning something that they view as being worth $0.01.

Got mine yesterday. Looks good, considering it had plenty of room to move around inside the shipping box between the Uncirculated and American Legion sets.  |
