Couple that with the obverse wear, the many contact marks on the reverse and the mintage and you begin to see that the coin is a spender.</p><p><br /></p><p>Last July I went through the 90+ Bicentennial quarters I had accumulated over the past 43 years or so and ended up returning 50% of them back to the wild because of excessive wear, so don&#039;t feel like&nbsp; the Lone Ranger if you kept something you probably shouldn&#039;t have.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly...study die deterioration...you are going to find deterioration much more frequently than you will doubling...I really hope this helps you...Spark[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
