<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 989893, member: 15309&quot;]Hold on to your hats folks and listen up.&nbsp; <b>Doug is 100% correct on this one.</b>&nbsp; It is not age that prevents the existence of MS68+ business strikes.&nbsp; The chances of a business strike coin surviving the minting process in MS68+ is incredibly slim.&nbsp; Remember, these are not proof coins made for collectors with a focus on quality, they are business strike coins made in huge quantities intended for commerce.&nbsp; There is no effort on the part of the mint employees to preserve the condition of the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone who believes there are MS68+ business strikes readily available that just have not yet been submitted, feel free to go to the bank, pick up a box of your favorite denomination, and search for a coin that you think would have a shot.&nbsp; If you do this, I am confident that you will understand the point that Doug and I are advocating.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
