<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 767126, member: 68"]I said these come nice and they do but keep in mind that about 5% are ugly and unacceptable and about 30% aren't very attractive but are nice enough that beginning collectors would be willing to use them in their sets. About 50% range from nice attractive coins to very attractive but there will be a lot of scratches on these coins. Many of these are struck on burnished planchets and appear PL and sometimes very PL. 10% stand out as being relatively mark free and well made. I'd call these mostly low end MS-64. About 3% are near gem to choice gem. Most of these are low end MS-65 and about 20% of this group is PL. The final 2% are solid gem and higher with some going up to MS-68 but most are more like high end MS-65.</p><p><br /></p><p>I seriously doubt that someone selling 5 '86-D quarters from mint sets with pictures taken from across the room is selling high grade coins.
