<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksmooter61, post: 26583546, member: 169607&quot;]I believe one of the issues with the low-quality moderns (prior to the mid-nineties) is based on the fact that the Denver mint was pushed to produce as much as they could as fast as they could, going back to the teens and twenties even. They often used dies that were worn out, and made such high quantities that those drab, poorly detailed coins became the bulk stock. <i>But that was as it was meant to be, as they were not being made for collectors, but for business, and they fulfilled that purpose</i>. Philadelphia also produced huge quantities but tended to care better for the dies as that was where they were being maintained. A large percentage of those 65-67 quarters were minted in Denver, just without a mint mark.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
