Rolls Or A Handfull

I look for nice coins and save them all. Frequently this will be zero but other times there will be more than I can comfortably save.

I've been looking for nice 1969 quarters for over thirty years and have never even seen a roll much less a nice one. Any nice ones of this date that I have came from mint sets.

Rolls are nice if you have the extra cash to tie up for a few years but they also take quite a bit more space than one coin in a 2X2. On occassion I will buy a roll of something but usually hold them for only limited time before grabbing a little profit to put back into a coin I would much rather have. No matter what we chose to do it is all a gamble all of the time. Don't know how many times I have regretted passing something up and then finding out a few months or years down the road how stupid I was. One thing about this hobby is YOU NEVER KNOW!!!

I collect by the roll but only Nickels and quarters. The Nickels because I want a roll for every year of the jefferson series. The Quarters because I trade State Quarter rolls for rolls of 1976 Quarters. Space is not the problem its the weight. I had to use 1 inch thick oak boards to build my Quarter box after the Half inch one collapsed under the weight.
