<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1768436, member: 24633&quot;]Once the coins are struck, it takes a lot of luck to find any that would be high grades, and that includes coins destined for Mint Sets because they are subjected to the same transport mechanisms as the other business strikes.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Over the years, I&#039;ve submitted quite a few business strike quarters and halves that came back MS67 or MS68. Some of the 67&#039;s from the same submissions looked as good as the 68&#039;s; a (small) few of the 68&#039;s looked good enough to be 69&#039;s in comparison to other 68&#039;s from the same submission.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>More importantly, all of these coins came from bags rather than Mint Sets or rolls because I prefer to search large quantities of the same date/mm. I am more apt to find a high grade from searching 500-1000 coins from a bag as opposed to 20 or 40 from rolls. Also, the premium paid to the Mint is much lower on bags........higher on rolls........and even higher yet on Mint Sets........and I certainly don&#039;t intend to order 500-1000 Mint Sets to increase my chances of finding high grades.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
