gymcoachdon Pillar of the Community United States 717 Posts	Posted 11/19/2017 10:16 pm I finally got around to opening the roll of San Francisco business strike quarters. I have searched through hundreds of these quarters over the last few years, (40 at a time!) and have been VERY disappointed with the quality. This roll was by far the best yet, and this was the best of the roll. Most are weakly struck, with the obverse taking the worst of it, and I believe that allows planchet flaws to remain on the surface of the coin. (just a theory) I think that about half of this roll showed weakness on Washington's cheek, and those that didn't had much less "noise" on the surface. Anyway, finding an MS65 or better in this series has got to be tough. What are your thoughts on this one? Report this Post to the Staff

But I keep buying them because of their very low mintage numbers. I use to buy these by the roll because I thought the quality would be better, wrong. Now I buy the 100 coin bags because you get an extra $5 face worth of quarters for about the same price. Edited by IndianGoldEagle 11/20/2017 09:58 am Report this Post to the Staff
gymcoachdon Pillar of the Community United States 717 Posts	Posted 11/25/2017 8:13 pm I thought I would throw in a picture of the Philly specimen of this coin. This came from a mint set, so I'm not sure if they are handled more carefully. But I only had one to choose from, not 40. Report this Post to the Staff
