    Nice finds!
    However, instead of the "Leaky Bucket" I think the " Doubled Pump Handle" is the key variety?
    :)

    Yes, this is the one.

    Well, I would like it to be that one, but you find what you find. I do look for that one, but have not found one yet.

    Halfway through those 3 boxes and am finding exactly what I'm always looking for, oddly :) Also oddly, all 5 of the different type paper rolls that all have 5 on them came from the same source so, I'm not sure if the bank marked them or the depositor. All of the rolls were loaded the same direction (face up) yet each roll has 5 or 6 high quality coins a collector would not throw back, albeit most of the nice ones have either marks or spots...but not all.

    any unc or ish good dates?

    i think i botched up an opportunity when i started-ish back up recently. first day at the bank they had a bunch of halves and i just got a few rolls and some quarters but the halves had some decent 82pd 83pd unc to unc+ coins and i wasn't on my A-game, so i just fiddled around and figured there'd be more when i went back the next day. WRONG!

    even at just $5 each is a 10x on investment and they can go for way over that if the condition merits. if the other rolls had about the same average, there could have been easily several hundred in profit just sitting there in the rolls, now gone forever. wahhhh

    actually, now i think about it, i think i already commented about this as the teller was on vacation the next day! i asked the ladies if they could access her station safe but to no avail.

    cest la vie

    While driving out of the bank parking lot today, one of the tellers ran out and said: wait!.........we found some more in the back.

    Had to trick the camera's meter by taking a pic in front of my monitor...this pic is honestly pretty accurate but the area near the bottom of his bust is actually more of a bright green than a yellow...

    A little search, some fun stuff...

    Little bit off center

    A VERY impaired proof

    When I see a rainbow like that starting to happen it goes right in my "toner box" which is an old Whitman cardboard 2x2 box. The coin first gets lovingly enveloped in piece of coin roll paper, preferably the construction paper type :blush:
    Many years later, I will check on it's progress :smiley:

    Someone plated this SBA in rose gold. They did such a good job that it still has a ton of luster on both sides.
    Also, I like it, a lot...we need more rose gold coins!!!
    Did you know the mint did actually make a rose gold coin? https://www.usmint.gov/coins/coin-medal-programs/commemorative-coins/breast-cancer-awareness-gold

    Is the better conditioned one?

    .
    there is a reason pros use cameras and not microscopes to post images of coins for others to view. ;)

    At some point the scope needs the camera.
    Just a thought !

    Fellow CRH'ers.
    Seems like most of the good quarter error coins are P-mints. Can you provide a few of the best D-mints to look for please?
    That's mostly what I get (CA). Thanks in advance, Joe

    @joe_360 Seems like most all errors and varieties come from Philly. Might be something in the water.

    This could be interesting:
    At the BofA today and only teller had quarter rolls - The women in front of her/me has many transactions - We started to talk and she asked if I was "looking for quarters", which I replied, "Yes" - She said, "I just turned in $2000 in quarters"

    I asked her if she searches them and she replied, no, I own businesses and have no time to search, I just roll them.
    I told her that I would like to keep in touch with her and see if we could arrange something in the future - She gave me her business card, she says that she turns in $2000 to $2500 unsearched quarters, once a month.

    Could be interesting, thoughts?

    Hope you have luck the way I just did!

    I often do quick refreshers when I switch denominations

    Use our host's price guide and mouse over the year column while scrolling down the page and take a peek at the ones that change to yellow. I'm making no assumptions about your existing skills with the site :blush:https://www.pcgs.com/prices/detail/washington-america-beautiful-quarters/1715/most-active

    And then here's the kind of strange thing I might do too... a search like this on ebay https://www.ebay.com/sch/524/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_nkw=denver&amp;Coin=State%20Quarter&amp;rt=nc&amp;Certification=PCGS&amp;_dcat=524

    After reading a lot of this thread, I decided to go to the bank and I bought the only rolls of halves they had. It was $120.00 for the 12 rolls. I ended up getting everything in the attached picture.............yup nothing. I am sure it was a hunter that turned them in . Oh well. I am going to keep trying.

    I would make it as easy as possible for her. Offer to go to her business and pick them up. Arrange a schedule and come at the same time every month or week if possible. Quarters are good and fun to hunt. And maybe if she has other denominations, you may be able to get them also. A lot of banks want quarters and are short a lot of times. Almost any bank will take them and will be happy that you brought them in. Have a separate deposit branch where you do not get coins at, so you don't have to search them again. Hope it works out for you. If you have the $2500 to float as it will be used constantly.
