<p>[QUOTE="PassthePuck, post: 7808250, member: 98916"]I do! Kennedy's that is. I buy them by the box from my bank and go through each one with a microscope. I ONLY keep Kennedy's with ZERO scratches. You would be surprised how many I find with zero scratches. To be honest, for me, the trick is to look at the shield on the reverse. It can't be worn at the top of each corner. It has to be crisp with no bending and zero scratches on the shield. If you can find that, then the odds are really good that the rest of the coin (Obverse) will have zero scratches as well. My favorite ones to collect are Bi-Centennials. In the last box I got from the bank, I found 10 Bi-Centennials with ZERO scratches on them. Again, the trick is to buy them by the box. It cost $500 for the box and most people won't shell out $500 for a box. Thus, nice coins to find.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
