    Nice video!
    Looks like fun and some pretty nice quarters in there.
    Working on a Dansco is a fun project with those, though I suspect you've already put that into consideration..
    Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks for the video.

    That 1935 is in better condition than is typical. You also had some 40s issues that were in VF+.

    You should go to the bank and get some half dollar rolls and see if you can find silver! image

    Boy, how the hobby has changed over the years, but the rich memories come flooding back in watching the young man search thru his silver!

    I remember the same level of excitement when I was 8 or 9, and spent hours laying on the floor of my grandparents' house, searching thru their loose change to fill blue Whitman penny and nickel folders. I remember looking forward to our long walks to "Smelter's Row" in Philly, where I could literally spend HOURS searching thru coffee cans loaded to the brim with silver coins of all types, looking for specific dates/mintmarks to fill holes in my Whitman folders....

    Back then, 4x face for silver at the smelters was EXPENSIVE for me on next to no allowance, but I almost completed my Merc, Roosie, and Washies folders that way! I wasn't smart enough back then to go after earlier series like Walkers/Barbers/SLQ's, or halves/dollars. I sure wish I had!!

    Later on, I'd search thru bank rolls and the register drawers at the retailers I worked for, and come up with a few IHC's and silver dimes/quarters/halves, but for the most part, by then, the glory days of silver in change had passed, as clad was king!

    If I'd only known back then! I didn't even save any silver dollars that may have still been around on our cross-country trip that included Vegas and the "Silver Dollar" and "Million Dollar" Bars in Jackson Hole, Wyoming..... image

    The excitement returned somewhat when the Internet & eBay hit the scene, and I expanded my interests and trading partners as well. But I haven't since had the pure excitement of the search like I did back as a kid, unfortunately. I can't remember the last time I actually filled an old hole vs just keeping up with current releases - - and it's just not the same!

    These days, I'm pretty sure the companies offering such scrap metal look thru them quickly first for key dates. So I figure that, after a while, it becomes an expensive hobby at 10, 12, 16, etc times face to look for just a few dates that might pop up. And that saddens me.

  • I find it fascinating that the quarters in the rolls were all facing the same way. Did the roller do a quick search through them?
