Glad to know that I am not the only one that does this, and I agree that it is hard to find great examples from the 80's and even the early 90's. My biggest issue is that after awhile I get upset and start putting lower grades into the mix. For the last 5 years it does not seem to be that bad to find a couple of rolls worth but sometimes it seems as if there is only one or two per box.
Thad, I have seen the coins you sell on this board so I can not imagine what a coin from circulation has to look like to be part of your set.
