After being bounced around on conveyer belts, they are run through a series of riddler machines, before being dropped a couple of stories into a large metal bin. Tons are done at a time. There is very little chance of finding high quality business strikes. </p><p><br /></p><p>That is why they charge so much for mint and proof sets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
