Caught a bit of the hunt fever due to your exciting finds. Any suggestions/recommendations on coin sorter or photo equipment?
Hi and welcome to the hunt!
Only suggestions really are to use the loupe that you're most comfortable with, I always use a 30x power. When at home, I love using my USB Scope, 1500x power. Have patience and be persistent! That is key. Most of all, have FUN. Good Luck

Nice find Joey! I spent the better part of my morning going through some of my lose silver looking for varieties.
No luck but I did find a 68D quarter with machine doubling so bad for a minute I thought I had the DDR.
So as @joeykoins famously likes to say...
...sssskunked...
So my first clue...was the first roll, ALL of them 2000-D's lol!
Then the next roll...
And the next... and they didn't get any better, but you know I enjoyed every zen-ful moment of them all

90% - 0 -

The skunk got close but a late find of a 1968-d saved the hunt. Rather dull round.
I try search quarter rolls for the elusive "W" Quarter. I struck out in 2019 and 2020. In 2021 I've found 18 so far, but have probably gone though over 1,000 plus rolls form the bank. It seems like I might find 1 "W" after searching 30 plus rolls. Love doing it even though the find is so seldom. The rare find makes the hunt worth while. I just have to remind myself that even a blind squirrel find a nut once in a while. Bye, gotta see a teller at the bank today.

Received 10 more quarter rolls today. New bank attempt.
It just occurred to me. I can't recall the last time I picked up ANY "N.F. String and Son" wrapped rolls? In any denomination? You know, like in the times before the coin shortage. From the banks.
How 'bout you guys?
Thanks

Found 7 sintered coins, Newest, 2021 D, oldest 1981. 2 silver nickels and some toners. Cheers.

I did not know myself, googled it and found the above. In short a copper color coin that should be nice and shiny. Looks almost like a copper penny. Could be black, pink, red, mixed hues.
@In4apenny That was a lot of reading for one picture and now my coffee is cold. Like Clackamas I have probably thrown several of these back into circulation.
OK First the finds from my weekly2 box half dollar hunt (BOO):

40% --0
NIFC's -2
Proofs -2
Other keepers- 0
Total - 4 . Worst ever.
My son gave me 20 rolls of bank wrapped quarters for Christmas. (YAY!!)
I found three "Washington Crossing the Delaware" with small die chips on the cap:
And my best coin roll find since I restarted to search rolls in March, 2021: 😃
This is the most progressed stage of this error that I have seen so far. The entire top of the building is aflame!! There are many varieties of the "Burning Building" error. A very exciting fund. I was stunned when I saw this. Judging from other sellers whereabouts, these seem to be circulating in my area. I can only get a few rolls at banks that I go to at a time and some will give me none. I will keep trying to get more quarter rolls to search!!
😊😃😊
Now that I'm on winter break, time to bet back to searching again . I went to a local bank looking for quarters where they refused to sell me any. Went to another bank and asked for a box of quarters and she said she would only sell me $100 worth. I'm glad she did!
Found my 3rd W quarter and 7th one in my collection. One I don't have this one yet. 2020-W Marsh Billings Rockefeller. Scruffy and circulated but happy to have it.
The big surprise was this. Silver!!! Been a long time since I found any silver quarters let alone in $100 worth.
My 2 finds together. I need joeys snoopy happy dance

Not so very good odds in finding that "W". Along with your 1964 Silver coin. Good for you.
Here's your request you asked for!
What's up with the
1964 Washington? Our friend, RickO, found a '64 too. About finding rolls at the bank. Stay persistent. Even if you have to go to several other odd banks. Doing this will almost assure you in being successful in acummunilating multiple banks rolls!
Good Luck. I myself, picked up 17 quarter rolls from 4 different banks today.

Appears like it could be a clipped planchet but I don't see any evidence of the Blakesly effect. Also looks straight so it could be a straight clipped planchet. Here's a clipped quarter that I found CRH a couple years back with strong Blakesly effect.

As a matter of fact. Leaving the house right now. To shop for 'dem quarter rolls myself! Hoping to find 20 rolls? Esp. at my favorite branch where in the last few visits, In the customer wrapped rolls. I found 3 W Quarters in just 30 rolls. Looking for them same customer wrapped. Hunting for #75?
Good Luck to you, once again, my friend.

Guy's, don't forgot grocery stores! I found 22 Lowell W's from my local grocer. And in less than half a box.
I was getting 3 or 4 per roll in a few of the rolls - Brand new rolls - So if the quarters looked brand new on both enders I would take otherwise, not. This way, if you do hit you will have higher MS as well. @Kliao@joeykoins

I actually have ever seen in person nor gotten brand new quarter rolls. Only new penny and nickel rolls that family got me, but they are couple hours away. I would expect new rolls being in the Chicago suburbs with the FRB in Chicago but I guess not.

I got kinda lucky today. Out of 200$ in quarters, 50 in dimes, and 10 in pennies. Got two silvers! All of the dime rolls looked like they were rolled in the mid 1980s with unc 80s and 70s some were overfilled too. The slight bummer though is that the bank had 150$ in dimes total, I’m unsure how many of them were from the same customer, but they were only able to give me 50$ worth. So who know how much silver (if any) I missed out on. Oh well I’m still happy 😃. First dime hunt I’ve walked away with more than one silver.
Picked up 14 quarter rolls, 3 Half dollar rolls and 1 Dime roll.
2021 is running out. Hope I can catch what
Kliao got? Anything close would be awesome. Lol
