SJUHawks Valued Member United States 383 Posts	Posted 12/02/2008 10:26 am I saw 2 Hawaii quarters in the poor jar at Taco Bell. Kills me since I don't have them yet. I'm on Long Island, and I've got a college buddy living in Cali, so the trading should work out nicely for the P vs D. Report this Post to the Staff
eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 12/02/2008 11:52 am Quote: The coins in the original MINT rolls are from the exact same production lines and and are handled in the exact same way as the coins shipped out to the banks And surely there is a cheaper way to get the P or D rolls .....(whichever ones you can't get where you live)......ebay....CCF ? The overcharged cost that the Mint offers for these "P&D" sets are just outrageous. I don't really see that a completed P & D uncirculated set of the state qtrs. and/or U.S. Territories, if going that route, would ever really be worth the extra money to do this. And the "original U.S. Mint packaging" lure is kind of hollow and not really a high priority these days.........IMHO. To claim a "full set" of P&D rolls of all 50 states in original Mint paper rolls, may be appealing to some and have extra value.......but.... what interest there is, will likely wane in time to come. I just don't see where spending that much extra money to acquire those "U.S. Mint" rolls is really worth it.... An ebay hound could certainly push them around and score a bit of profit.....for awhile, but beyond that......... Edited by eaglefoot 12/02/2008 3:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff

IMHO, it would be too easy to fake the wrapper, fill it with normal circulated quarters, and dupe a buyer.

DNA Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 12/02/2008 10:22 pm It's been almost a month since they've been rolling off of the presses at the Denver Mint, and I haven't heard anybody say yet that they've got a roll of them from any bank or credit union (and I'm in Denver! ) I've spent over $20 in Hawaii quarters since Nov. 6th. At McDonald's, Chipotle, Starbucks and Target (to name a few places). There's still no 'first report' for a Hawaii Quarter in Colorado on Coin World, despite my best efforts.... There's been a lot of eagerness to get this Quarter, because it completes the series. I've been a 'hero' to several 'senior' types, because I happened to mention that I have Hawaii quarters in my pocket. Every time I'm at Wells Fargo, I'll hear someone ask for them! (and they still don't have any, as of today!) Report this Post to the Staff

DNA Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 12/03/2008 8:56 pm I buy them at the Denver Mint Gift Shop. The Denver Mint Gift Shop sells the currently minted Denver Mint Business Strike (circulation issue) Quarter and Presidential dollar coins for face value.

timthrill Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 12/04/2008 09:53 am do they have a website? for I haven't seen any Hawaii quarters here at all yet I have even called all the banks and still nothing? Report this Post to the Staff
eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 12/04/2008 10:06 am You'd be better off just being patient and waiting until your bank gets them in. Ordering off of the website will just mean "shipping & handling" charges above the "face value" that you'd otherwise be paying......IMHO....just wait !!.....my bank doesn't have them yet either.

DNA Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 12/04/2008 10:45 pm Sorry, the Denver Mint and Philadelphia Mint Gift Shops do not sell items online, or by any other means besides 'in-person'. The online sales from http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wc...alogId=10001 are conducted from a dedicated shipping warehouse (currently in Tennessee, but it will move to another state in 2009). This does mean that the only State Quarters available online from the U.S. Mint are the "Mint Wrapper" P+D pairs, sold as 'collector's items' at a premium. I had some fun at Wells Fargo today: I asked the teller "So, how many people are pestering you for these ?!" (as I pull out a few BU Hawaii-D's out of my plastic roll) She said "Dozens!", and whips a bill out of her drawer to buy them from me. Then all the tellers gather round to get a good look at what she just got! This is the first time that I've sold a roll of quarters to a bank!. I told the bank manager that I have spent over $25 worth of them since Nov. 6th. His opinion was that the Hawaii Quarters that I spent were most likely not handed back out as change to customers, excepting possible 'favorite' customers who the cashiers would save a Hawaii Quarter for (and those would of course not enter 'circulation' after that!). True confession: I'm spending the 'culls', which would be the Quarters with duller luster and more hairline scratches, and trading the higher-grade Quarters with other local collectors. I find this to be nice 'grading practice' for the differences in "MS" grades, since all the coins are by definition "MS" (direct from a Mint Bag, NO circulation wear). Quote: Conder101:"The only difference between the rolls you get at the bank, and the rolls that you pay a premium for from the Mint is the paper they are rolled in. You can get good or cruddy coins out of either type. It's all the luck of the draw." I got a BU bank roll of "D" Peace Medal Nickels for $2 in 2004 that would most likely put to shame any opened "Mint Roll" of same. Seriously, all 40 of them are stunning high-MS pieces that look great even under a 10× loop! I've seen a number of MS-65 to MS-67 State Quarters that came straight out of a regular BU bank roll....
