<p>[QUOTE="greyfang, post: 35778, member: 1864"]Heh heh. Thanks for the info. Well I looked at my 1999 silver quarters with a glass and right away I found one with a healthy scuff on the rim, one with a weird dark spot on the hip of the horse, and one with a dark discolored area covering maybe 10% of the obverse. I didn't even bother looking at the obverses. I had no idea quality control was so horrible. I just assumed the average proof today would be maybe 68 or 69. Man after seeing my set I wouldn't waste money on a silver quarter set when you can buy the slabbed 69's for just a modest premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for insights.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
