Just a stunning set. Maybe circulated in casinos and such.  |

That 1971-S is spectacular. Yes, this was most certainly a pocket piece. But, man oh man, do I like it!

Look at the comment on the 77-D P01. ;-) Russ- looking forward to getting those two Ikes from you.  Keep me in mind if you ever find a really worn Ike. I would sure like to add a PCGS PO01 to my collection. Edited by Darth Morgan

Lowball Set? Does that mean they are purposely trying to find coins in bad condition?

Yes. It is now a popular trend, especially for Morgan dollar collectors. |

Not necessarily "bad condition." Extremely worn with no damage.

I don't know if it was softer metal or raised date, but it looks like Buffalo nickels are the quickest to wear (as in amount of wear for age of coin) and lose their date. Edited by wyle

It was a raised date, and on the Type Is, raised denomination on the mound. The Type Is were losing their denomination after less than a year in circulation. |
