These coins can be just awful. If you have 100 original 1975 mint sets in perfect condition about 40 of the Philly Ikes aren't nice enough to...
People have always had this idea that all you have to do is want one and a nice MS-70 modern will appear in your hand by magic. The thinking is...

They had to suddenly store more than 10,000,000 40% silver quarters, halfs, and dollars. They actually used 55 gallon steel drums to store these...
