<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 129150, member: 68"]Yes. For the main part it applies to most modern (1965-'98) business strike coinage. It also applies to many of the ultra-moderns as well. Even those moderns which can be located in quantity like 1975-D pennies it can be very difficult to find enough to warrant grading. Most bags will contain only twelve or fourteen die pair and none might be of sufficient quality to survive prescreening. Certainly if you pick up three or four bags then you'll find at least twenty or thirty coins which might be worth submitting, but you won't find any bags of old clad quarters and if you did the odds of it containing a gem are nearly remote. Even bags of four or five year old nickels can be extremely difficult to find. 1997 nickels are worth several times face and this with almost zero demand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
