I usually would wait to post a few finds at a time but this tripped me out........ out of the 2500 cent bag. I couldn't believe when I turned it over.......Think I'll post it for a GTG thread but with an acetone soak and better pictures.

Unfortunately, those W's are rapidly deteriorating in circulation! Very nice finds though.
Nice finds guys! But no Wide or close AM’s yet unless it’s the right year
It will happen soon I’m feeling it!
Now it’s time to compare the purchased/auction winning coins vs. the freebies you frequent at the bank.
I’ve only opened one roll thus far and have plenty more coming in the coming days but I can say right now, and based on prior experiences this crap shot is only slightly better than Vegas. On a good day!

Question for you: What does it "always" mean when you open a box and pull out silver?
Lol. Well, it means many things. FREE money! 1 40% means the price nearly of half a roll. About $4. 90% is the value of 1 roll. $10. Any variety, could really hit big. Sometimes even paying for the whole box of half dollars? $500. Toners. Errors...and let's not forget about the THRILL of a hunted down find!
That's what it means to me. Lol

Wrong. You're reading to much into the question.
It "always" means there's more where that came from.
What! Thin planchets? Do they bring thick wallets? Does it occur in zincs?
You’re pulling my leg right, I’ve already been snipe hunting once and trust me no little birds ran into the sack
In my mind yes, easily 67 and maybe a plus. But I don't want to get ahead of myself. For some reason I'm always a point higher than PCGS but I have been getting better at this on the zincs - Coppers are a work in progress.
I'm just amazed at how different two identical rolls can be. BTW - The fourth looked like the first junker.

I'm not a grader either. The ones I submit usually come back 2 points lower then I thought!!

My very first order a few years back I thought I hit the big time. They were all 64's and a couple 65's, copper.
And I've done even worse on occasion but, we won't talk about that

I hear you,.. same here. I've been testing my "non-professional" grading skills with ANACS.

Oh, I'm sure they don't mind at all slabbing them grading practice submissions
Aka, tuition. I think it’s the only way to truly learn. And it’s quite extensive because 2+2 does not always equal four. For example the differences between 66 and 67 can be many. You can have a coin with cuts and spots grade 67 because of strike and Luster yet the same model very clean might only go 66 for lack of the same or even other variables.
I like the somewhat forgiving aspect of eye appeal. Usually worthy of a point and a sticker and for good reason. Collectors like to look at coins, I wouldn’t call it a stigma but it certainly has affected graders and collectors alike.
Any hoo.....to get this thread back on track my bank was kind enough to let me exchange a box of quarters yesterday and it is a box of old coin rolls. I have rolls with enders of American Memorial, RONR, Tallgrass and Salt River so it's a great variety box.
My average is one W per old coin roll box but I have pulled up to 5 before so hoping this one yields a good variety. 🤞
The bank won't let me exchange for 2 weeks so gonna make this one last🤣😂.
Again, going from MS65 to 66 is like breaking 90 for the first time. The basics are easily learned but understanding the differences between MS66 and 67 is like lowering your handicap from a 9 to a 4.
So I hit a random bank today a few towns over. I walked in very friendly and made eye contact with the first teller I saw. I just walked up and said: Hi, would you mind checking to see if you guys have any half dollars in the bank you wanta get rid of?
She checked her draw and pulled out three. She then asked the other tellers. Non of them had any. You want these she said; I could see they were junk clad but I said sure, thank you! So I gave her $2.00. She gave me the 3 half dollars and 2 quarters.

Question for you: What does it "always" mean when you open a box and pull out silver?
It means you don't have a boat, tackle boxes, or fishing rods............
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
Wrong. LoL!!
Winning!?
Nope.

"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
I think you should weigh it. Looks like it could be on a thin planchet.
Wrong. You're reading to much into the question.
It "always" means there's more where that came from.
I only have 2 place gram scale - it be reading 3.1
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
Sorry, best I could do with the crappy camera - but...........

Four rolls on the top right are 1980D from the same seller and presumably the same box.
One roll looks like this.
But the next two rolls look like this.

Very nice CoinscratchFever!
You see any 67's or 68's in that group?
In my mind yes, easily 67 and maybe a plus. But I don't want to get ahead of myself. For some reason I'm always a point higher than PCGS but I have been getting better at this on the zincs - Coppers are a work in progress.

Well, the ANACS specials help. 10 coins for a 100 bucks.

You just never know!!!....
So I hit a random bank today a few towns over. I walked in very friendly and made eye contact with the first teller I saw. I just walked up and said: Hi, would you mind checking to see if you guys have any half dollars in the bank you wanta get rid of?

Geez @USSID17 - A silver quarter for change? Where'd ya go - Mayberry?
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
You just never know where these things will pop-up.
Nice, and that’s where I would’ve been like... Say there Aunt Bee what are the chances this Feller could get a few rolls of quarters too?
Good Luck.
I'm going to guess that you'll find a Proof!
