When I get rolls of quarters from the bank to search for ATB's for our folders, we seem to always find 1-2 bicentennials per roll. We are in Southern Maryland and the rolls tend to be fairly evenly split between BWR and CWR. |

We still find bicentennial quarters here in base in Korea.

I still commonly find bicentennial quarters in circulation, although slightly less often every year. I keep any that are AU or better, but it's very rare now to find any like that in change or rolls unless someone dumped a hoard of them.

I live in southeast Alabama, travel to Gatlinburg Tenn and to Panama City Fl many times a year.
I get at least one every two weeks in my area.
I never see the Alabama quarter.

I never see the Alabama quarter. That is an interesting observation. |

I find them all the time not as much but I do find them. Now finding nice examples are rare but you even find those. It is truly a lucky day when I do though it is rare.

I am in Florida and I do still see an occasional one in change.
I took all mine to a coin star machine a year or so ago and cashed them in.

I collect them while roll hunting just to have something to do. Can usually find 10 or 20 in a box. Use it as a method for saving. Turn them in later. :)

I remember looking at them and noticing that many had weak details in the drum, either they were weak strikes or worn dies. If I get one and it is MS and has a really good full strike, I might put it aside. There is no reason to hoard these, they made enough of them but like most any coin, the very best examples might be worth keeping.  |

I found 20 this year. Ranging from very fine to very rough.
Denver mint marks are more just blobs and Philly has no mark.
But I save them all and smile when given 1 in change.

I've always loved them, as I suppose is obvious.
I see about 6 or so a year in change and keep them all.
