Is it hard to tell the difference on average between regular business strike cents and Satin finish cents? When they are side-by-side the difference is glaringly obvious, especially for the cents. |

Okie doke! I thought about trying to obtain some further down the line.

easiest way to get them is to buy the Annual uncirculated set and get all the coins.

Show off!  I got just the one, but looking back it would be nice to have a second set of all three* 2009 sets intact. That was a beefy year!  * uncirculated, clad proof, silver proof. |

Love the 2009 coins. So I did something different recently and ordered some of the US treasury tokens to put into the spots of the key date coins that will remain empty. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. Looks okay I suppose. I am missing one, though.   Any thoughts? |

That is quite a different take, never seen anyone do that. I like that it is different than putting another Wheat cent in there. |

Thank you, my friends.
I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I got the idea from someone else that I saw do it.
Think I'll leave it for now, though.

I didn't even think you could buy the US treasury tokens

Well, I don't know if you can normally purchase them broken up like that. However, I got them from ebay, so they were able to sell them individually like that |

Yes, they have been freed from Mint sets.
