Im a cashier and a few weeks back someone paid in 2 rolls of quarters. No biggie, but the rolls were the clear plastic rolls you see used by Brinks. Looking at the roll, the rims were so pristine, they looked like proofs. Although the coins were not proofs, they were clearly BU South Carolina State Quarters. Am I behind on the times here or are some coins shipped out of the mint like that these days? I remember none of the original State Quarters were wrapped like this...? |

No, the only rolls available from the Mint are the P&D sets with "special" paper wrappers.

Thats what I thought. But I cant figure out how these coins were in the plastic wraps. Every coin in the 2 rolls would grade MS without a doubt  |

I have a few rolls of BU 2009 Cents that I bought from Walgreens cashiers, in those type of plastic rolls. The grocery stores' rolls are always Strings & Sons paper (BU or mixed). Which kind you get depends on which armored car company supplies the store with coins. I would say your BU NC rolls were originally from a Walgreens/Rite-Aid/CVS etc. drawer circa 2001, and someone saved them because they were BU. Probably the same guy who paid you with them, because many coin shops won't buy BU State Quarter rolls anymore, and they will tell you to spend them. Edited by DNA

Someone broke open a mint bag of quarters and rolled them with the plastic. Who, is anyone's guess now. I have a short, 25 coin, roll of P mint California State Quarters in the original paper wrapper stating these were for California residents only. I paid way too much for them but until I sell them there is no loss and I don't plan on selling them anytime soon. Who knows maybe in ten years they'll be worth a buck apiece in the original wrapper. I wrapped the roll in comic bag plastic so the wrapper won't get soiled. Ed ANA LM-3175 |

Actually, I believe they were released just the same as any other quarters, as well as in the mint rolls. I could be wrong, but I believe that to be the case as I have a few bank rolls of BU State Quarters myself. |

Yep someone picked up a couple of Brinks rolls back in 2001 and has been holding them waiting for them to go up in value. Now that the State Quarters series is over they went to sell them and reap their profit only to find that the best offer they could get was $10 a roll, so they just spent them. Figure in time value of money and gas for running around to the coin stores looking for a buyer and they probably lost about $4 to $5 or so per roll. |

I've gotten rolls of BU State Quarters from banks in clear plastic rolls too, when they first came out. Whatever company is rolling them from receiving them from the Federal Reserve, was putting them in the plastic wrappers. |
