$100 quarter roll results, that's 400 quarters!
Friday, October 13, 2006
Today after doing some errands in town I went to the bank and decided to take out $100 in quarters. I was much enthusiastic about doing this after I had found a 1964D silver quarter I had received as change at a store. Finding that silver 1964D gem of a quater just in my regular change got me riled up so I decided to go to the bank and I splurged and got 10 rolls of quarters.
The man at the bank was kind enough to actually give me a bag this time. He asked me if I just "needed" the quarters (yeah, like I'd need 400 quarters for anything, haha!) But before I could say "psh, yeah right" he said "or are you just going to hunt through them?" I was kind of wondering if I should tell him yes or no (since some, but not all bank workers have a 'thing' against coin collectors/roll searchers because they sometimes get the impression that the roll-searcher is kind of taking advantage of the banks free services.) I did tell the man "yeah, I like to search through them" and to my surprise that's when he got all friendly and offered me the bag. So I guess maybe it's just a rumor and that bank workers don't hate roll-searchers, either that or I picked the right person to deal with.
Anyway when I got home the first thing I did was go through the rolls. I went through the first roll, the second roll, and so on. I found a very wide variety of quarters from 1965 to 2006. That's right, starting at 1965 - so unfortunately no silver quarters for me today, my goal (or hope) was to get at least one. I also kept my eyes peeled for any S-mintmarks, you know in case someone let a proof go into circulation (believe it or not, it happens!)
I was awarded in my finds with three (3) 1975 or 1976D Bicentennial quarters. It's impossible to tell if they were minted in '75 or '76, as all of them just show 1776-1976 on them, but the Bicentennial quarters started in 1975 which is something most people don't know. Of course the years don't matter, and in fact the coins are hardly worth past face value (unless they're silver clad Bicentennials or they're in MS-63+ condition.) The Bicentennials I found were probably worth 30 cents at the most.
I also found some near MS-63 2006 state quarters, as you can see in the image there is a Nevada one there. It's one of the nicer ones I found, while my camera doesn't take the best pictures around this 2006D Nevada state quarter looks great and has very very very minimal signs of circulation on it. This coin might get $1.00 at the most for its current condition.
Well, now I've got 396 quarters to trade at the bank for next time! Until then, happy roll searching!
