[QUOTE="cladking, post: 502703, member: 68"]I really don't have a lot of experience searching rolls but I do pay attention to the coins I've seen in circulation and have probably searched around ten rolls of each date but very few from later years. I've looked at a lot of mint sets and there's often a lot of correlation between quality in these and quality in rolls. Other times there is little correlation. One of the toughest to find even half decent in mint sets is the '79-D. These are all scratched up. All the '68-P are spotted in sets. The '84 is usually corroded and usually has very poor surfaces. The '81-P is rarely gemmy but does come clean. These have rough uneven surfaces. The '72-D comes exceedingly PL and gemmy but strikes are never full. The '72-S is a little tougher but comes nicer. Some '88-D's in mint sets look like branch mint proofs. '89-D's have zinc exposed on the reverse where it was stripped off the side of the lettering in the strike. In rolls I just don't have enough experience to feel competent to answer though would say I don't see any real problems with your list. The '78 and '74-S do come very nice in the sets but the '78 is scarce.[/QUOTE]
