Nice finds, chettieyy!  I am actually more impressed with the ATB finds than the silver. They seem to be a bit more scare.  |

Thanks Jbuck... I hear ya there as I until this box very rarely came across one nevermind what I found total in this box.. I actually found more ATB's than pictured as I still had about 1/3 of the box left when I took the pictures and found about 8 more than pictured on original post... I was amazed at what this box produced for finds  I think I will be searching quarters a lot more often now as halves seem to be on the weak side lately... anyway thanks for the comment and happy hunting bud :-) |

No problem I would be happy to help... On the 1776-1976 Bi-centennial quarters they made them in 4 issues: 1776-1976 (copper-nickel clad) weight= 5.67g 1776-1976D (copper-nickel clad) weight= 5.67g 1776-1976S (copper-nickel clad) weight= 5.67g 1776-1976S (40% silver clad) weight= 5.75gYou would be looking for the San Francisco mintmark ( they also made a clad version so scale is needed )and I would suggest weighing them as well because it wouldn't be the first time I have heard of a P or D with a silver clad base metal which is why I recommend weighing them all. Experts feel free to chime in if I am incorrect anywhere in this post. EDITED for my mistake!.... It's 80% or .800 & .200 copper for the silver issue.. my mistake I always thought it was 40%.. guess ya learn something new everyday but above is all info related to the issue. Quote:

The two outer clad layers are 80% silver and 20% copper, but the core is 21% silver and 79% copper. Net composition is 40% silver, 60% copper. |

Thanks Jbuck for correcting my not needed correction for the mistake I never made Seriously I thought I was going nuts because I have been at this awhile but I'm also highly medicated so I am always messing with something up or getting things mixed around.. Thank you for helping regain my sanity on this one. |

Nice find Florida .. Looks to be in great shape with a sharp strike and looks to have some luster as well. |

Well I called my local bank the other day to talk to a teller I know to ask her to put aside a box of halves, quarters & dimes that way it wasn't such a rush if I got there and she was busy.. she told me she didn't have any boxes of quarters left but that she had put aside some rolls she thought I may like so off I went to the bank... I get there and find that she has 8 full rolls of uncirculated states quarters waiting for me  .. Of course I skunked on the halves but am quite happy with the quarter rolls... they are as follows: x2 2005 Minnesota, 2004 Wisconsin(maybe leaf varieties ), 2007 montana, 2004 Michigan, 2006 Nebraska, 2001 new York, and last roll is heads both ends so not sure yet.. the one roll I opened which was falling apart anyway seem to be all high grade with barely any blemishes or marks.. I believe it to be someone who was collecting full rolls and got hard up for money and cashed em in? I can't really imagine these were still floating around in boxes...anyway just wanted to share with everyone.  |

Sorry I'm not up on the acronym. What does ATB stand for? I'm sure I'm gonna feel really dumb when you tell me....it's probably really obvious.... |

Yes they will be opened and searched for errors/ varieties but as far as I know only State Quarter with an error is the high and low leaf varieties on the 2004 Michigan quarters and I know 2009 had a couple errors as well but can't remember which one off the top of my head.. I will post any if found though.. They will be stored in coin safe tubes after opened to keep them "fresh". Quote:
