<p>[QUOTE="Vertigo, post: 8054063, member: 118430"]I have been buying and sending in eisenhower dollars. Randomly from random sellers. All MS67. I am buying what I perceive to be nice looking ones. Only about 30% have passed. Now that I have 10 passed and 20 failed I can look at the passed ones and the failed ones and can see what the bean coins have that the others don't. It is hard to see in pictures of the coins. But in hand the details on the passed coins are sharper and consistent. I can now see why the failed coins failed. And I don't think bumping them down to ms66 would get a bean on most of them. The details just aren't as sharp. Now I'm trying to learn how to see this in images to be able to determine if one will pass before I even buy it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
