Starting in 2005 the U.S. Mint started minting coins for the United States Mint Uncirculated Set with a satin finish instead of the business strike finish. What is the difference between Satin and Business strike coins?
It is really a matter of how the U.S. Mint processes the blanks used in production. The blanks used for business strike production are processed with different types of material vs. those used to mint Satin coins. Overall there are countless ways to produce blanks for minting. The exact process the U.S. Mint is using is secret. I realize this is a very brief explanation. What is important to remember is that starting in 2005 everyone who is collecting modern coins will now need a business strike, satin, and proof example to geplete their collection.
