<p>[QUOTE=&quot;statequarterguy, post: 775578, member: 21782&quot;]Yeah, I miss the old days when there where BU, Ch BU and Gem Bu - most could tell the difference. Some days I can tell the difference between a 67, 68, or 69, other days I can&#039;t. I figure many collectors are just as happy with a 68 as they would be with a 70 and it&#039;s really the &quot;collector/investor&quot; with more money than experience that buys a grade that carries a huge premium from the next lower grade. So, for modern collectors of circulating series what is there - rolls, mint sets, and proof sets. I collect them all and cherry pick the higher grades and buy the low mintage (for modern issues) offerings from The Mint. Just so happens at this point the lowest mintages for modern circulating coins are the satins - if the proofs ever regain that status, I&#039;ll buy more of them.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Yep, lousy year for the Pac 10.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
