The 2006 Satin Finish cent from Philadelphia was included in the Uncirculated Mint Set, continuing the satin-finish format introduced the previous year. Approximately 847,000 sets were sold, a decline from the 2005 total. The burnished planchets and specially prepared dies give the coin a soft, even luster distinct from regular strikes.
The lower set sales mean fewer 2006 Satin Finish cents exist compared to 2005. The coin carries no mintmark and is available through dealers who handle uncirculated sets. Collectors who pursue the satin-finish subset of Memorial cents include it as part of the 2005-2008 run.
