They were produced&nbsp; in large numbers, but most circulated, and collectors were busy&nbsp; squirreling away the 90% silver 1964s, not the 1965-69 pieces. (The last 40%, the 1970-D, was only issued in Mint Sets, and most are plagued with contact marks.) And, the&nbsp; large numbers of 40% business strikes produced meant that even Uncirculated pieces were usually&nbsp; full of contact marks that preclude high Mint State grades. </p><p><br /></p><p>Amazingly, PCGS has certified less than four dozen of those business strikes in MS67 <i>of all five dates (7/2010).</i></p><p><br /></p><p><b>PCGS Population: </b>13 in 67, 0 finer (7/2010).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
