OK... we need a score card going now... So far we have @JoeyCoins and @WQuarterFreddie running a close race... Not sure who is in the lead, but with Joey's totals above, he may be in the lead. Post totals guys.. so far, Joey at 38... where is Freddie?? Cheers, RickO

Hey guys! To be fair to Joey, all I search is W quarters and I average 4 boxes/week. Regarding Ricko's comments about keeping score I need further clarification. If you want to know my total for all my W quarters found it is in the many hundreds. If we are only counting the Tallgrass it is less than a hundred but look what I just got today!
Wow... @WQuarterFreddie IS the Quarter King!! Several hundred?? Yikes...I was feeling good after searching a box a week to have gotten my count up to 26!
I found a Weir Farm just this week right on the end!!! And @JoeyCoins is doing amazing as well....some good stuff there!!!
I need to go to my bank....when they open the lobby.... still shut down, only drive through open. I have not tried quarter roll searching....but checking change has not worked for me. Cheers, RickO

So ridiculous - Patience is a curse!
I'm envious of all the W's...you guys going to get any of the nicer ones graded already?! Let's see some 67's eh!? 68's?!!!
Nothing completely spectacular but here's a bunch of the FS finds from my 20 rolls of nickels search!
Maybe I'll start making a roll of FS nickels to giveaway at some point

These were so Close but not quite...
Yeah....getting a W quarter graded PCGS MS67 or MS68 is tough. Just check out pricing on the Bay for what people are paying for them!
Believe me, I have tried but best grades I have gotten from our host so far is MS66. There is a fellow forum member who has gotten MS67. Perhaps he will post some pics for you!😎
I had to go to the grocery store...decided I'd try the Credit Union of Denver for rolls.
They are limiting them to 2 rolls per customer but they also had 2 rolls of half dollars in the whole branch!
They haven't seen me in a very long time and I've been a customer since the very early 90's so they happily checked for me with all the tellers for anything interesting.
They only had about 20 rolls of quarters total in the entire branch so I was polite and only asked for 2.
But I'm excited about even 2 rolls of halfs, haven't seen any of those anywhere!
But I'm excited about even 2 rolls of halfs, haven't seen any of those anywhere!
Every once in awhile, I'll order a box of halves from the bank, $500, and so much fun to go through. Haven't found anything too amazing yet, just a couple silver ones!
The hunt never really ends but today I’m at that point where I just boxed up the best I could muster for this order.
Several weeks worth of seemingly endless searching of rolls, banks, pawn shops, and antique stores.
So now, the hunt hits a kind of reset, I get to dream about and also second guess my decisions for the next 5 or 6 weeks while the search continues, expands, and to boldly go where no searcher has gone before
Hmmm

If there’s one thing I have learned, it’s how to tidy up a box for shipping. Just look at that! It’s almost perfect a 69 fir sure.

Oh no! It's drop kick proof. The outer shell is just the beginning. Once you get through the layers of tape you'll find sheets of bubble wrap. Then a small ink cartridge box has the goods which is also wrapped & taped up and then stuffed with bubble wrap to prevent shifting. It was the only way to get rid of the rubber bands w/o scotch taping the flips.

You are the man! Enjoy and happy hunting!🤴
Lol. Thanks. Yeah, been trying to find more W's. No such luck. I hit a dry spell. Checked a whole Bank Box of the Rockefellers the other day, NOTHING. So I thought I give some half dollars a whirl. Saving it for the weekend. At least the two boxes, went through the 14 Rolls already. No silver but maybe some dd's? Need my scope to find out for sure. Many 1971d's and 1974d's.

I object! Joey called me the King of W quarters and as everyone knows there can only be 1 King!😂🤣

Good eye in picking those FS Jefferson's. I'm sure you had difficulty in finding those.
Here is a Jefferson I had graded awhile back MS 65 FS
I Noticed you have a 2000p
Well, like WQuarterFreddie pointed out, these W's are very difficult as well to pick out the MS 67,68's. Here is my PCGS MS 67
I am yet to go through my 37 other ones.
Hopefully, I will find a 68 or even better? Keep on hunting. Whether they are the W's or the Jefferson FS designations. Good Luck.
