The only 2 keepers were a couple of 2019 W's. Nice pair!  |

Went through another 200 dollars worth (that makes $2,700) looking for that July 4th Quarter. No luck on finding it but found this. Here's a hint from a post of mine @ a month ago Quote:
Of course not one of these Ws could have been a War in the Pacific (only design I'm missing)    Definitely an AU-58 coin but looks better than some of the 64s I've seen.  2019/2020 W collection now complete  |

In September, I searched through a total of 21,480 quarters. While there were no truly spectacular finds, I did very well, finding 12 keepers: five silvers (1938, 1942-D, 1943, 1952-S, 1964-D), five West Point Coins, a 2004-S Iowa Proof, and a 2013-S Maryland NIFC coin. You'll note that a couple of the silver quarters (1942-D, 1952-S) have a goldish appearance. The edges of the coins were purposely almost worn thin - the reeding on the edges is all but absent (they both weigh a little less than they should as a result) and it looks like someone tried to gold plate them - both came from separate groups of Fed Brinks rolls from one of my two main branches. The 1938 came from the same batch which included the 1942-D... very rare for me to get two silvers out of my standard 20 roll group!   CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

Any 1930s quarter is a great find. I think I've found three in 750+ boxes.

Thanks, all!
And, TomM, finding quarters in the '30s is indeed quite a rare thing... and I was especially fortunate as the 1938 is one of only three Philly coins in the series with a sub-10 million mintage (1932, 1949 are the others)... in terms of years and combined mintages, only 1932 is a harder year to find.

I don't normally hunt quarter boxes. I decided to give it a shot and look for the privy mark. First 2 boxes solid Mayflower. Second 2 boxes same thing. Next 2 boxes regular mix of coins. I'm sure this was beginners luck picked 5 silver from those 2 boxes very very surprised.  |

Nice, cabowabo. I average one silver every four to five boxes, so that would be a great score for me.
Definitely watch for W mintmarks as well, they are worth about 1.5x as much as a silver quarter.

Excellent! My last silver quarter find from rolls was several years ago.
