How to easily find standard issue coins from 2005-10?

For the years 2005 through 2010, the US Mint sets contained the satin finish coins. Does anyone know of a good source for easily obtaining one specimen of each regular issue (non-satin finish) coin from this time period? I am trying to avoid a time consuming or costly effort such as buying rolls, etc. Thanks.

  • ebay - yes but still tedious. Was hoping to locate a dealer or someone that might have approached this problem already. Didn't see anyone obvious on ebay.

    I thought they stopped the satin finish after '09. I'm prolly wrong again though . . .

    Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set:
    1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

    I think people are going to be surprised how tough some of the non-matte finish coins will be in Gem for these years. There have been massive quality improvement over the years but the best specimens still come out of mint sets.

    Thanks.



    I haven't ordered in the last few years.



    2014 satin Kennedys in mint sets only?

    Were all the MS Kennedys satin?

    It would surprise me to hear that there were some satin Kennedys in the mints sets.

    Perhaps this was actually referring to the anniversary P&D set with relief similar to that of the obverse of 1964?

    Yep the Anv. sets are graded a SP by our hosts. Then you have the Silvers and finally the Business Strike. (2014)



    BTW the 2005 to 2010 Business Strikes were hard to find back then and are getting harder as time passes. If one wants them they are going to have search as I know of no place that is stocking them. Banks don't even hold coins by date any more it's stock to demand.

    People were taking a lot of these coins for granted back in that era and they still are today. One of my favorite coins is the Wyoming quarter because really nice specimens aren't all that common. People were saving fewer and fewer states coins and the smaller states got even less interest. While millions were set aside the incidence of Gems seems to be rather low.



    The same thing applies to the dimes. Other denominations may be affected as well.
