fplagge Pillar of the Community United States 660 Posts	Posted 11/22/2020 10:11 pm In going through $500.00 of 100% 2020 P Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller quarters - Straight from the Fed - I found eight of them which were silver on both sides but lacked a "polished" finish. They do have a bit of a sheen, just not a mirror-like shine. Have any of you run across this? I am not sure what to call this since they are obviously "clad". Did the mint possibly miss a step in which they should have been polished? Help! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/23/2020 12:31 am I had to look these up. They are normal business strike quarters. The quality of the stock varies. They don't polish these. When they are discolored, the is not a plus for the coins. So they are not a high quality item, like a proof. When I get an original wrapped roll, I refer to these as OBW (Original-Bank-Wrap) rolls.They come from the wrapping locations. They wrap what they get in the pallet: Report this Post to the Staff

fplagge Pillar of the Community United States 660 Posts	Posted 11/23/2020 08:55 am Thank you, Coop, I knew I could count on you to know. Personally, I kind of like the way they look. Merclover: here is a photo for you. It is not all that clear, but you can certainly see the difference in color and shine. Report this Post to the Staff

The metal clarity can factor into a grade. (Although I wouldn't have any of these graded as the cost would be greater than the value of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
