[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 3659422, member: 24633"]With the introduction of the State Quarter program in 1999, third-party resellers sent bulk submissions to the grading services with the expectation of receiving some high grade specimens that they could flip for huge profits. Those coins that didn't make the minimum grade were simply returned to the resellers "as is". Some of those resellers got the bright idea of creating sets with these coins plated in very, very, very thin layers of precious metals like gold, silver & platinum.
