They have been showing up here in NC. In an earlier thread I mentioned about going to a local bank and getting a Brinks box of 100.00 face to go though. I thought I would try to go though them an pull out (5) MS-67 coins or better to submit to PCGS under modern service and make a few extra dollars, as so many other folks do. Well, I am down to the last 7 rolls to go through, and I have not found a single coin that will holder above 66 IMO. There are just to many marks and or friction, these most likely went through counting machine's etc. Once in a while, I would find one that would meet the 67 criteria on one side but not the other.
This is the last time I do this, talk about time consuming. I love looking at coins, but not the same one over and over again.
I thought maybe I was grading a tad tight, so I went to E-bay and pulled up a PCGS-67 that is up for sale. Nope, that coin from the photo's is clearly better than the ones I am seeing in this box.
I got 4 rolls from my bank here in SC and didn't find a single coin that would grade better than MS63, most would be MS60 They almost all had many very large marks. With Nickel being such a hard material, I can't imagine what process they went through to get such large marks.

Don't know why but I got two rolls from the mint as well. Just going to let them puppies sit along with the 2 rolls of 2003's i got.
The set will be complete when the final "new" nickel comes out.
