<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 1152779, member: 68&quot;]About 96% of the mint set &#039;80-D&#039;s have a shallow scratch on the obverse and 2% have the scratch on the reverse while 2% are unaffected.&nbsp; The really painful part is that the vast majority of the unaffected coins are poorly struck.&nbsp; This was almost certainly caused by the mint set packaging equipment for this date.&nbsp; If memory serves it is the first time packaging was 100% automated except for loading the magazines that fed the coins.&nbsp; After 1979 all gem sets and odd ball sets get much scarcer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
