nss-52, I would have to guess Kerndt Brothers Bank got mint bags of them in advance of the release and utilized N F String & Son equipment/supplies to roll them. Still a bit disappointed that they're all probably D mint. I bet my own bank will have them soon if not already. I have downgraded my estimate of the end coins to MS62. There's just so many dings and scratches. Straight from the mint to the bank rolling machine. Ugh. Not much hope of a gem in the roll. But hey, I bet I'm one of the first on this forum to have a 2017 quarter.
I busted them out. Especially after browsing through ebay last night and seeing all the "postmarked" rolls already for sale, there was no reason to keep a generic roll intact. I pulled 9 out into a "check again" pile and below is I think the best one.
Strangely (or perhaps not), at least half a dozen of them have odd striations between Liberty and George's chin, like thin grease splats. Not sure if they were all Struck Through Grease or it's plating flaws. George's neck has it too. I might try to capture that later.
Anyway, it was fun while it lasted. They're in a tube now. I can't get over how many scratches and dings there are, but they're just spewing millions of them into giant bins. Quite a few have little brown spots like they sneezed coffee on them.
I'm actually liking the reverse more. If you've ever been there, it kind of captures what it's actually like. Open fields surrounded by oak forest, bears marching off into the distance. What are these things doing here? What was going through these people's minds when they made them? It evokes that for me.

I was at the Phila. Mint yesterday watching them make quarters. You're not too far from the truth!
Quote: Following the ceremony, the public traded their cash for rolls of newly-minted Effigy Mounds National Monument quarters at the coin exchange hosted by Kerndt Brothers Bank. The bank exchanged $23,000 in (D) quarters in 45 minutes.
92000 quarters in 45 minutes... that was some coin exchange. I still think it's cool to have a roll. Who's gotten one in circulation?
