i'm guessing you don't loupe or scope every single coin, which means knowing by memory or some other systematic system to know which dates do have good stuff to find (other than VERY scarce discoveries on older dates), which means going outside the CPG and looking over wile's site or wexler's.
something like that.
i also think that cents are the most promising to find SOMETHING and it is significantly cheaper to get a lot of those rolls BUT i'm more in the get XXX amount regularly as oppose to $10k in cents at one time. but for sure i understand the preference of doing quarters. good bang for the buck, lots of stuff to find and easy to handle look at w/o louping. cents and dimes can be quite exhausting to look through thoroughly.
The Kennedy I picked from a two coin souvenir set a while back. The true color is golden with darker rim toning. The luster and eye appeal is thick on this one, I'm thinking 66+.
.
good grief man!
that IS a major jump in quality. part of the color is drowned out in over-exposure but i'm sure you figured that out. far as i am concerned, you are over the hump baby!
the bright light could be the lights and/or the camera settings. just a matter of trial and error.

I'm and old guy and I need to loupe every single coin just because I cannot see much without a loupe anymore. If I see a possible variety or error, then it goes under the scope. Yes, I do remember which dates and mm's to look at. It comes naturally after a while. Excepting for minor league varieties, I am very thorough.
The reason I like quarters best right now is because of the many new coins that have error's that can be found and "W" mint coins are still out there.
Let's face it, dimes suck, not much to search for and even if you find 4 silver dimes, it does not equate to one 90% silver half dollar.
I used to get $2000- $4000 in halves every week but have slowed down to $1000 but the last few weeks have been totally fruitless. And my return banks are getting a little bit weary of half dollars.
Pennies are for the most part are unavailable in full boxes at the current time in my area.
Even if you don't find a single silver quarter in 10 boxes, they can still be quite full filling.
Received this stunning 2022 D dime in spare change -
I scan my change for good strikes and this is the best I've seen to date !
It's a nice clean coin will very likely clear MS67 (IMHO) ??? Any grade suggestions ?

i kinda missed the quarters when you posted them and then was a bit tired when i saw them last night.
wonderful images.
just for splitting hairs, the lighting band is a bit narrow which is why there is dark in the left/right fields. if you can move the lights in such a way as to stop the lighting bands from overlapping so much, it MAY just kill 2 birds. not so bright in the middle and a bit more periphreal light for the fields/legend.
there are multi-million & billion dollar auction companies with far worse images.
you captured the luster AND color w/o sacrificing one for the other which is NOT an easy balance to obtain.

STAR WARS QUARTER
Wait wait wait what? I have to slowly and repeatedly dissect what you're saying I'm still trying to figure out the over exposure thing. Mostly, I'm still just learning the controls. I think what I discovered this weekend was the res. adj. and so I maxed it to 1600. Now the pics are large enough to zoom in which is nice but next I need to figure out how to overlay images...I think
The camera responds to different light angles differently and so the position of the lights seems to effect color and maybe that all goes back to the WB.
@Coinscratch said:

SHOW OFF!!!
luster bands are MUCH better on the cent. almost a nice X pattern.
the overlay thing, is really just for super duper uber ultra sharp images.
gj finding the resolution settings. always makes a tremendous difference, for the better, although one need crop the images down or they can be several MB from a nice dslr camera. (like the ones above. 3.5mb)
it is up to you how you reduce the size in MB (not dimensions/resolution) but i usually just drop the images into paint and just re-save the image and it usually 1/2 the size in MB. like this:
and you really don't notice w/o super zooming. for images that require super zoom, best to just to close-ups for specific areas. (pup images)
I got a couple rolls of quarters for kicks. These were random and wrapped (not sure if by Strong or Wells Fargo). I was surprised what I found ... 80 quarters and about half preceded state quarters including 70's, 80's, 90's, 2000's, with only 4 from 2020 and later. What surprised me were that there were 5 with machine damage / or wrapping scrapes including the following on end.

i'm not sure that even makes ANY sense, so, just be honest; you're looking for ANY reason to post some of your fab images now!?!?!?1
pretty nice but i downgrade the quality to a 7 because you just smoked the luster right outta that image BUT the overall quality of the image is so darn good it is VERY obviously a ddo!
that is the gr8 thing about being a pro at something, even when you mess up or just suck sometimes, those efforts are STILL above average!! (i noticed that about myself and others long ago and is a pretty funny irony to me)
i have to ask though; is posting professional images of regular pocket change against the whole ethos of economical coin searching? don't want the pocket change/roll finders here thinking you've gone all 𝖇𝖔𝖚𝖗𝖌𝖊𝖔𝖎𝖘𝖎𝖊.

So I opened that obw roll of 2000 P Sacagaweas that arrived busted a couple weeks ago.
Confirmed it was absolutely a genuine obw.
There were 3 SBAs in there too...Two from 1999 and one from 2000.
Unfortunately nothing so special in there. The Sacs were mostly MS and some had experienced a touch of circulation wear.
Ended up keeping one, maybe a 66...

have you sent off many/any of the quarters with the scuffed up surfaces like this. i'm curious how the TPGs are handing this as it isn't circulation but it is tantamount to it.
i'm not picking on Kurisu's coins as a lot of my Ws this year have this same look, along with many other quarters that went right from the mint to rolls i presume.

No, and I don't think he plans on sending that one in as it's pretty beat up. The luster he is pointing out is thicker than I've seen but I'm not even looking at those yet. I'm building a set but stuck in the 1970's I'm pretty sure I can muster a set of 67+/68 w/o buying any graded coins for 65 to date. 65, 66, and 67 will be the hardest w/o mint sets. Here is my current 1967 falling short at 66 (graded for toning) and found where the others will eventually come from, an album.

it is kinda a crappy die state but if the contact isn't there, the luster is and the color is as nice in-hand, i'm a bit shocked it didn't go higher but the peeps in the grading room having the advantage of seeing billions of coins and having them in-hand probably makes a large difference.
