Ok, I have been working on a set of the special issue quarters, state/territories/ATB. I am enjoying the process, but I have a question about the satin finish years. 2005-2010 uncirculated sets have a satin finish. Were the circulated coins a different strike? I assume they are, so what is the best way to obtain these "circulated" coins in "uncirculated" condition? In doing the research, I realized that there are 20 different 2009 Lincoln cents to collect! Now with the "S" business strike ATB Quarters, that adds some interest to the chase.

All US Mint Set coins are different from circulation strikes, even before and after the satin finish era.

From the US Mint website...

"U.S. Mint uncirculated coins are struck on special presses using greater force than what is used for circulating coins, producing a sharp, intricately detailed image. "
