    On average, I'd say more like a 66 or 67. A 68 would be rare. Some would be 64 or 65.

    Here are coins coming from the presses to a hopper. Lots of opportunities for contact marks. Don't forget, the mint is a high speed, high volume manufacturing operation. They are more concerned with getting the Billions of coins out the door than worrying about minor surface issues

    A good example of graded coins from circulation is the 2019 w and 2020 w quarters. True many were taken straight from OBW rolls from Loomis for example. But they were graded fairly high and above MS65
