2008 Mint Sets :
Contain a P&D version of the LAST Lincoln Memorial cent design.
End of an era there.
They also have the last year of the Sacagawea dollar coin.
After that year they changed the design, which will be different each year now, and is now called the Native Dollar.
The Satin Finish coins started in 2005, so this was already in place by 2008.
But deserving of double the original U.S. Mint issue price ?
Some would say no..... some yes.
I bought TWO Sets that year (it's what I do EVERY year though). One to break up for the Dansco's, and one to keep for "whatever" in the future.
I do the same with the yearly Proof Sets, and the yearly Silver Proof Sets.
GOTTA FILL UP THEM HOLES IN THE DANSCO'S.....
As far as this one.....
This has been mentioned A LOT on CCF over the years.
First of all, BOTH Satin Finish and Business Strikes CAN BE/ARE B.U. (brilliant uncirculated)
That is just a "condition" sometimes also called "Gem Uncirculated". Referring to really nice quality ~ free from many imperfections. The Satin Finish coins certainly fall into this category.
Really it just boils down to your own wishes and intents as far as what you want to do.
There is no debate that the Satin Finish IS a different coin than the Business Strikes.
Dansco, (and I think most others too) does NOT recognize the difference with extra holes in their albums....but some folks, including me in part, have just bought extra pages to accommodate for this.
And don't forget this year of 2011 IS NOT SATIN FINISH any longer ! So now.....we're back to normal again !
The "Satin Finish" just really made things more difficult for album people, I was not a big fan for that reason, mainly.

would you break it up to fill your Dansco book- or do you consider these editions so different from business strikes that they are not BU?
