QUARTERS!
I have finally been able to indulge myself in a craving I've had for awhile now that I couldnt afford..quarters!
Went to the bank today, cashed my check and cleaned out the banks 40 rolls of quarters.
After a couple hours of searching through them when I had the time here are the results..
1x womens hockey ( colored ) with very strange marks TBD
8x 1968 ( 50% silver..about $20 bullion )
7 missing states

Well, don't give up  I'll be having a payday Wed and will likely buy some rolls of quarters and other coins too (nickels up to toonies) to quickly search for anything extra special before spending them. Will also buy $10 or so of pennies too, to look for some better ones to add to the packages I want to mail out this week, as well as just to keep me busy. My paydays are only once a month so I don't often get to buy rolls of anything. Quarters are fun with all the commemoratives out there too. Always hoping to find a mule  Plus I usually find some US quarters too and hope to score a variety or error. I check them, and spend them all otherwise. I don't save anything except pennies for the most part, oh, and I save all of the world coins come my way. Good luck in your own searches! |
