petersun > The legendary collection was produced in very large numbers, meaning that anything below MS 67 is not worth grading.
Do you think that is also the case with the orca color, even though there are only 225,000?

The coloured coins will, on average, be very baggy - MS-62 on average. That is due to the extra handling those coins have undergone to get the colouring and clear coat protector. Go through the roll, and pick the best coloured Orca you have, and post a photo on here. If it is nice enough, it will be worth sending one in.

Only 225,000 of them were minted in 2011, the other 6 million plus minted in 2012. I have found full rolls of blues at many of the local dealers. They are out there. |

Not a myth but a fact.
Take 30 seconds and look at the mintage report for 2012
There were 12,050,000 Orca's minted in 2012. Half of them are coloured

ICCS has a deal where you can send a roll and they will only grade the ones that make a certain grade. These you pay the full fee for.The rejects are then billed at 2.00 a coin. Makes your idea a bit cheaper. But still pretty expensive for a modern base metal coin.

You should sell them individually, making at $.75 profit on each one of the quarters.

MS 62 is the best I usually see. But of course, there's always a chance, that's what makes it fun.

ok, i'd like to thank everyone for their ideas and opinions. I think I will go through my rolls, only picking MS66 and higher. the other coins with get only alittle bit of attention from me when I throw them in the dryer to make sure that the crap stays "crap" and to better the numbers, right? lol

ok in regards to newer coins if one had a 2000p Nickel that would be worth getting graded assuming it was still close to an MS state?
