<p>[QUOTE="Vertigo, post: 8084779, member: 118430"]Ok so this is what I did. It was the only series I had a lot of. I won a lot of these on stock photo auctions. So when I became a member last year I had tons most of these. I started sending them in. Obviously a lot of failures. I'm just a collector member so I only pay if it gets the bean. I wanted to see if there was something to this or not. But you really need a lot in hand if the same grade to see it. This series was cheap and I already had them all. In hand the bean coins are sharper nicer and pretty much 100 percent mark free. The failures have small issues. Once you have this many same coin same grade with many bean and many no bean you can see why the ones that got it, got it and the ones that didn't, didn't. I only pay a premium for a coin if the coin has what I want. But the coins with the bean do display something that failures don't. The problem is, unless you know the coin has been, you don't. There are sellers i won't buy from looking for bean coins because I know they have been or the seller knows they won't get it. I am starting to see why by doing observations like this. A lot of these failed due to strike issues. It isn't that they are graded improperly. Most of these coins would not bean in ms66. A lot of the 1976 have poor reverse strikes. That design was a problem. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1404516[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1404517[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1404519[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1404520[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
