Good eye Jeff  Your 1982s have the Obverse of 1977 while your 1983s have the Obverse of 1982. There was some overlap in 1982 so that is why it is possible for you to have the old obverse. Design elements were sharpened slightly and the peripheral devices were moved towards the center. I would need to see both sides of the coins to accurately grade them but I can see that they are nice examples of tougher MS quarters. Based on the obverses, I would say they would grade around MS-63. |

Are those worth a premium?

I'd say so; no mint sets were made in 1982 or '83, so high-grade coins from those years are worth a quite a premium. |

Really nice looking coins. Appears you were standing at the end of the production line at the Mint to get those.  They would look great in MY albums. |

I know this sounds weird or call me a hoarder, I started back in the late 60s going to the bank getting rolls of coins before they even made it out of the bags getting one roll of each mint mark... and not just quarters... pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and halves. My friends laughed at me wasting all my lawn mowing money on coins, well look who's laughing now? I may be a little on the geeky side but hay, I teach Computer Science.  |

Some of those rolls might be worth a small fortune.
There are exceedingly few sources for clad quarters and many varieties simply escaped being saved at all. Now they don't exist in uncirculated condition and you might well have a few in some of these rolls. Things like unc '72-D type "b" reverse or 1977 type "d" reverse coins are going to be worth a great deal of money if anyone ever finds one.

The '72-D would need a space between the E and S in States and the '77-P (or D) would need a space between the right side of the N in Unum and the eag;le's head to be the rare varieties. Keep in mind though that neither of these is truly rare. The mintage of the '72-D is estimated at 80,000 and the '77 at 150,000. But it appears neither of these exist in unc except a single '72-D. There are numerous other such coins like a '71-D DDR or a 1974 reverse of 1972. People simply didn't pay attention to these coins since everyone thought they were junk and almost no one set even one coins aside. If it weren't for mint sets most dates would be scarce in unc.

Neither of mine have it, but the coins still look nice.
