<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 324523, member: 68&quot;]I guess I&#039;m too late.&nbsp; GMarguli said it better than I could.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve never bothered to cherry pick these because most look all the same; dull, lifeless, and poorly struck.&nbsp; I&#039;ve never had acces to enough quantity to find nice examples.&nbsp; It was the same way with Ikes for many years. I didn&#039;t even know there were any gems so didn&#039;t waste my time looking for them.&nbsp; My favorite modern cherrypicks are where there is a huge range in quality and the coins are heavily skewed to the low end.&nbsp; Coins like a &#039;79-D cent for example.&nbsp; This coin comes well made but almost every example is badly marked up.&nbsp; You can find clean ones but only with a lot of searching.&nbsp; &#039;69 quarters have everything wrong with them. They are weakly struck from poor dies on horrid planchets.&nbsp; The coins were mauled before leaving the mint.&nbsp; I look for these as well but my standards are quite low or I&#039;d never find a keeper.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
