Quarter Roll Searching

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

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.

Fantastic!

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

It's been a while since my last quarter searching update. To be precise, it's been 100 boxes, each box being $500, or 2000 coins.

In my most recent one hundred boxes of quarters, I've found 57 West Point mintmarks, 15 silver Washington quarters, and one 1963 Canadian silver quarter. I had a bad streak of ten boxes with just one W found, but also streaks of ten boxes or more with at least one W or silver in each box.

This does not include the three of four boxes of solid new DOI quarters that I searched (in vain) for July 4th privy marks back in July and August.

Quarter searching is productive - especially for W mintmarks - but it is not for the faint of heart! I find much more silver in dimes, and more interesting dates and mintmarks in nickels.

Nice results, TomM.

I stopped by a new bank last week to see if they would order some boxes for me. They said no, but I could have any extra customer wrapped rolls and he said there were a few Loomis wrapped rolls if I wanted them. It totaled $300 worth but I didn't have time to go through them until this week. I started finding a lot of BU State Quarters in the customer wrapped rolls so I started setting them aside to see how many I could find. I found a bunch. I finished those off and picked up one of the bank wrapped rolls and noticed it had "Colorado" marked on it. There were also 2 marked North Dakota, another was marked 2006 So Dak. Enders were as marked and they look BU. Two of the unmarked rolls have BU double enders. One is Wyoming and the other Montana. I think I lucked into a modern collection dump.

Greysheet lists those rolls as $26 a roll so I think I done good. I'll pick up some quarter tubes and check to make sure.
