One50 Valued Member United States 361 Posts	Posted 04/04/2015 8:46 pm March 26th the mint release the 2015 Silver Eagle UNC. I had to get one for my boy, that's my gift to him every year. While on the mints website I decided to see what they had for cheap because I had $100 burning a hole in my pocket. I decided to pick up Perry's Victory three coin set. I figured, why not, the monuments practically in my back yard. Support local Then I said "Hey"...2010 started the America The Beautiful series and they have these nice 10 coin P&D Circ sets. They had all of them except 2012, SO I added them to my cart. Purchased, shipped and arrived the other day. Open them up and take a peek. The Silver Unc is very nice. Perry's three coin set, very nice. The Circulating sets....Ummmm....I didn't realize they actually pulled them out of circulation and sealed them in these blister packs. I'm being sarcastic. I have never purchased a Circ. coin from the mint before and I was expecting more. The rims on every coin look like they were drug on the concrete. Philly was better than the Denver ones. The lack of relief on Washington is amazing, I personally received the last strike coin from each series. How can anyone be that lucky? VLDS x10 The size and depth of some of the scratches is deeper than the Grand Canyon, which happens to be on the 2010 series. How ironic. This has taught me some very good lessons. I now appreciate a circ. above MS68 I also have appreciation for finding better quality coins in my pocket. With all that said...I'll still have to complete the OGP set. What is wrong with me.

denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 04/04/2015 9:20 pm UNC coins are handled one at a time, usually at higher pressure or multiple times. And then packaged and boxed individually. Circulation strikes are fed en masse from a hopper full of planchets, into the edger, back to a hopper, fed into the press which stamps them at lower pressure and once, making 12.5 coins every second. Then dumped back into a huge hopper. Are you seeing anywhere in the process where they may get a nick or a mar? HWHL0fzpviU Quote: I personally received the last strike coin from each series. That is interesting. How do you know that ? Edited by denco7 04/04/2015 9:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff

When you're minting a quarter-Billion of them a year, something has to give. That's 475 coins per minute continuously for a 365-day period.... Report this Post to the Staff

(or roughly 13 coins per second.) Edited by Conder101 04/06/2015 08:55 am Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188052 Posts	Posted 04/06/2015 2:23 pm I historically collect coins from circulation and these ten coin circulating ATB sets are the only way I have been able to fill my those holes in my album. I had no delusions of a six dollar set being the same quality as a fifteen dollar one.
