The best way to possibly find one is to go to your bank and begin ordering $500.00 Boxes of new quarters and start there and begin searching the rolls before anyone else sees them. Is by chance you may find one or another type of error. Searching coins this way you will most likely to be the first to actually examine these coins close up. Quarter boxes you have to order 500 dollars at a time and pennies, dimes and nickels I have to order 1000 dollars at a time. atleast at the several banks I deal with and you have to have an account to do this at each one and a tip is to treat the tellers very well. Most for resale of rolls desire String paper rolled! You can also look up the nearest Federal Reserve Bank near you and tell them the banks in the vicinity closest to you and they can tell you which carriers service these banks and may give you a tip on how to purchase them.Hope this gives you help to your question and a direction for maybe finding one.

It also depends where you live. I live in the central state OK, and I can only get Denver minted coins. I have to order straight from the mint in order to get any philly's. Or wait till they filter down to me, but then they are all banged up. I always have to wait at least a year before I start finding Philly's, sniff, sniff. I go to my bank and they give all the rerolled coins I want. Find some interesting coins that way.

I am not definately sure it is a dropped letter. May or could have come from the reverse I do not know for sure. Does anyone else looking at the area on the reverse see the same thing I do in this picture? Appears the lines on the Y on the coin look like the V areas I pointed out in red on the reverse which are thinner. If being from the Y on liberty it seems it would be thicker. Just my observation of the coin. If anyone knows the seller maybe you can relay this picture image to them.  http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...73347_ND.jpg target _blank rel nofollow  ND.jpg /a br / 79.5 KB" border="0" style='cursor:default' onClick='doimage(this,event)'> Picture of coin in question is below. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...220035083846Edited by mishap-coins

Question, say I buy a $500 box of quarters, or a $1000 worth of pennies, etc... what are the chances of finding an error? I'm basically trying to figure out if it's worth the time and effort. It sounds like fun but my wife would flip if she found a huge box of pennies in the house!  |

Okay, lets back up a second. You can order or ask just about any bank if the have a certain denomination of coin in boxes. Most banks today use either Brinks or Loomis which wrap their own coins. I am not to sure about the dollar or half dollar boxes, however, quarter, dime, nickel and cent are packaged into 50 roll boxes. So you have $500.00, $250.00, $100.00 and $25.00 dollar boxes according to what they are.
As far as the dropped letter, it does look authentic to me. It is incused, it is thicker than the Y of LIBERTY and its approximate to LIBERTY all add up to it being a correct error. We must remember that this is actually harden material (gunk; oil, grim and other micro bits) that has fallen out of the die, in this case the Y of LIBERTY and then impressed into the coin.

Hello.
Wavysteps is correct about the boxes how they come in boxes of denomiation amounts, though that being said the 5 banks I deal with they have to order $1000 increments at a time to receive them from brinks or whatever service they use. If they do not order them then the only way for me to get them I have to order (1000) amount at a time to get them from the closest Federal Reserve Bank. Which all the banks that deals with brinks around my vicinity is rolled in clear plastic. The paper rolled coins that I've received have come from ADT or Loomis.
The dropped impression in my opinion at the top of the Y is to wide spread. If you look at an actual 2006 North Dakota in person it appears the dropped mark could have came from the reverse side of the coin. I wouldn't pay over 50 to find out.Which is the bottom Die the Obverse or reverse. Has a bit to do with it.
