That lack of detail @5 c'clock is where the big scrape is. I was wonding the grade just to know, its not going anywere lol.
I am fairly new to this (why I am new to the site). I use to collect coins when I was a kid and had alot of silver, morgans and war bills from Hawaii were my favorite. well about 10 years ago I lost everything when my house got robbed and lost interest. Then about two months ago one of my employees called me over to the cash register becuase she thought the rolls of quarters she got from the bank was fake since they sounded different when she broke the roll and dupmed them in. When I went over to look in the drawer I found an entire roll (39 out of 40) pre 65 quarters and most looked brand new. That was enough to get me going again. My employee had bought the roll the day before, I went back and bought 10 more rolls and got nothing. Even since then I have bought around 800 in quarters and have found 0 pre 65s.... so now is prob a good time to ask... what do I do with all these coins when I am done searching? coinstar is like 10% and my bank wants them rolled and for me to sign each roll, so now I just have all these coins in pails / what do you guys do?

Amazing! I can't imagine how that got in there and how long it has been sitting in a roll waiting to be opened.

That was my jaw hitting my desk, then the floor, then me putting it back on.

AMAZING find!

May I speculate how this may have happened?
(I will get a bucket and mop and clean up after myself )!

This could only have been a very unfortunate mistake made by a collector, who has accidentally included the gold coin when re rolling the pennies to be sent back to the bank.
