<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 4086185, member: 68"]I wager if you mixed 500 nice '65 quarters with 500 SMS's I could usually separate them with 100% accuracy. It gets way tougher if you mix Gem BU with SMS but the accuracy would still be pretty high. I'd get more SMS in the Gem pile than Gems in the SMS pile. </p><p><br /></p><p>'66 and '67 sets are not "sealed". You can open and close them easily. </p><p><br /></p><p>If more people saved more '65 quarters it would be harder to separate them. There just aren't many Gems and the true oddballs like Gem coins made from retired SMS dies are scarce or non-existent. It's the oddballs that can be hard to classify, the others are just experience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
