Northwest they are very cool. Not a bad thing to collect at all. As for me I'm focused on the Wheat pennyBut mostly because of my roll searching luck. I did actually find this gold quarter in a roll I was searching. |

I only buy 100 bucks in quarters a week and have been doing this For a month and have never, not once found a quarter dated pre-1965. I search penny and nickel rolls and things are going awesome!! My Wheat penny collection is booming and the War Nickels are rolling in But in terrible condition. |

yeah...it seems like people on the forum are getting more luck with silver in dime rolls, do you find many Buffalo nickels? because I have been skunked for a while on those. |

I got a 1929 S this week but my wife found it in her
Grocery store change. I did find a rust orange buffalo
But it was so terrible that I threw it back. There was no
Saving it. I tried vinegar for 2 weeks and it just got worse.

Northwest, What is a counter stamped coin? Is it like the LMC I found with JFKs face stamped into it, facing Lincoln on the obverse? At any rate, I recently found two V nickels in the same box in different rolls. Not many War Nickels, though. Or Buffalos for that matter. |

Timmy- a local coin dealer has the "gold" State Quarter set for sale each coin in its own air tite case all on display in a fancy maple box all for $100. I don't know for sure but I'm going to guess its not gold, 100 coins (P&D) plus the cases and box seems like it would be much more expensive if it was actual gold |

I received a gold plated quarter as an "I'm sorry gift" from a guy on ebay after he accidentally shorted me a couple Mercury dimes a few years ago... I spent it  ....It did not fit in my collection and thought it would be a cool seed to plant for a future young numismatist. |

I find my share of gold half dollars. I thought about keeping them but now I just throw them back.. My guess is worth only face. I don't need to keep even more worthless junk.

I laugh every time that I see a gold plated quarter. They are not worth much more than face. They just look cool because they are plated with gold.
