<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 142512, member: 66&quot;]Why are there 11 grades of MS on coins?&nbsp; Say you have coins from mint sets they never circulated.&nbsp; Why do we need multiple grades on those?&nbsp; Did someone intentioally scratch them?&nbsp; Actually I agree with you I don&#039;t see much need for more than one maybe two grades o the waffled coins.&nbsp; But it wasn&#039;t that long ago we only had two grades of uncirculated too. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The mint sells reject coins to the metal reyclers as scrap.&nbsp; The problem was that during shipping the coins were sitill legal coins, so the mint had to provide arned guards and a security convoy to get them to the recycler lest they be stolen.&nbsp; and they had to stay with the oins until they were melted down.&nbsp; After they got the waffler they could run the coins through it to cancel them so they could not be used.&nbsp; Then they could be shipped as scrap metal with no guards needed and the mint no longer cared what the recycler did with them once they were delivered.&nbsp; Well one enterprising promoter purchased a bunch of the waffled scrap from the recyler.&nbsp; If you could find the recyler you could do the same yourself.&nbsp; You just might have to take several tons at a time.&nbsp; They used to do dies the same way.&nbsp; One of the mijor error dealers has said that he has SEVERAL 55 gall drums of dies from the scrapper in his storage area.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
