Planchet Quality
I bought a MS68 Indiana quarter on ebay
to have an example of what such a grade would look like. I noticed that the coin had mirrored fields and I was wondering if the Mint specially prepared the planchets in order to achieve such quality-maybe polishing the planchets prior to striking. I've never found a MS68 coin in circulation, and I've looked thru tens of thousands of coins. My best finds are MS65 and maybe a MS66. The problem seems to be finding coins that have adequate striking pressure. Not an easy thing. So I'm asking if business strike coins are the way they are due to a lack of planchet preparation. |
