Back home for fall break and went to the bank for a box of quarters. Unfortunately, I got a box of brand new 2022 Ninna Otero-Warren quarters straight from Denver. I know a few of you would love this box but this is not something I would look through. Are there any errors known yet for the D mint Ninna Otero-Warren quarters? Any suggestions on what to do other than cracking all the rolls to return to the bank? I have cracked a few rolls and they are full rolls of brand new quarters.

I got a Nina Otero-Warren 2022-D box also. I am trying to eBay them, but no luck so far. I will slowly open them and check for errors and return them to the bank if I have to. So far, there is not much to search these for. I may just search a few rolls and return the rest unsearched. I will wait a short while before giving up on these, just in case something shows up that I should search for.

A while back I accidentally cherrypicked a pawn shop while buying around 8 1959 BU Lincolns for $3 each. Not knowing what they were I left a few there. Three of them are the DDO and I had one graded (TV Shown) and it just came back MS65 DDO PG. $300.00
Today, I called them and they still had 3 left, almost a year later...
Here they are and 2 are DDO for a total of five.
NON DDO

I know, probably just me being picky, but those two beautiful pennies in the plastic aren't wheat.
That should have been the first clue. The shop owner had previously showed me some poor results from PCGS on Mercs. They all looked really nice and lustrious but they graded 64 & 5. He sounded disgruntled about the whole experience and I think that cured any need of his to have coins graded

A reason why I dislike customer rolls for the most part. Got $200 of quarters and received all customer wrapped. 2 of the rolls had about half replaced with nickels! I can take 1 or 2 at the most but half of the roll?!?
There was a silver quarter in the mix along with a French Franc and a Chicago Bears token of some sort, you can tell I'm in the Chicago area .

that is probably the worst abuse i've seen and is the type of reason my bank stopped accepting customer returned rolls. they usually know the roll searchers so it is easy to weed us out and the machine kicks back everything odd.
you MAY want to mention it to the bank (there could be negative effects that hurt roll searching) so they can try to figure out whom the scammer is.

Many, many varieties in the Washington quarter series. I always check the PCGS Price Guide. Check any date, than you should see if that particular coin has any varieties. Or The Cherry Pickers Book, for the Quarters.

Just returned form the Grocery store with a dozen eggs and this -
This makes an interesting story of thanksgiving - My parents were married
in 1956, and I have been, in the last 2 months, distributing some of the
funds from my parental inheritance to church charities. I was amazed
when I saw this dime in my change. It has some nice speckled toning.
I find it hard to imagine that it has been floating around in daily commerce
till today, when I removed it from circulation.
Now then, I decided to post all the "silver" coins I have received from
circulation till today. The 1944-S Mercury dime I found lying in the dirt,
and the 1941 Walker Half was received from a bank teller.
Wish me well to keep getting silver coins in my change - this is the best
part of my small coin collection.
Hope Y'all enjoy this small set. Thanks & Happy Thanksgiving !
Coinscratch - If I read you correctly this coin was in a collection album OR an uncirculated mint set ? It looks like it has been around for quite a while, and perhaps if it was in the pool all those years it would have deeper wear ? I would put the grade at lower than good. The reverse torch is well worn as is the hair. Rest is OK and lettering is very clear.
you know, if we were all doing this like 8-12 years ago (when flat-rate was less than half for small boxes of the price they are now) it would be FUN to get a group together of about 5-10 people and once we search a group, send it to another person to look through to see if they could find something others have missed. it would kinda sting but be a good humored opportunity as well. i'd LOVE to learn about something i've been missing that i'd rather not although there are some things you all pull out that i don't any more, including some ddo, ddr, struck-through etc.
think of coin shows, online, shops etc where you KNOW many eyes have already looked at what you are looking at YET, still being able to find something you want.
a more recent OBVIOUS one happened to me when i attended a shop where i hadn't seen a particular person for many years and lo and behold, after months of not going myself, i run into this person (they got there before me partly due to construction), although i really couldn't place them til near the end of their visit upon which i tried to do some basic chit-chat and it didn't go very far BUT as irony would have it, a couple/few weeks later i go back and i go there first this time and they showed up after idk, 30-40 minutes. W O W. 2x on the same day out of years of attendance. SO, the first time, they were going through the foreign bucket while i was going through trays for type coins and slabs, of which i found a nice handful, then figured there wasn't much in the bucket but i hadn't done it in a while and said, why not. they bought, idk a dollar or two worth which is quite a few foreign coins and a hour or two later i had well over 3 pounds! so it is amazing sometimes what other aren't interested in, don't know to look for, don't have the money for, time, energy etc.
This set is on the way, I bought it because the Kennedy looks really good. You can see luster and the shadow around his bust
Wrong bust, but it looks like it could be good and for 7 bucks why not.
Then I was just window shopping and came across that same shadowy bust on a MS67. This could be good.
Then what do y’all think about these two?
This one looks PL but, if the light is diffused and still bright enough this phenomenon can happen. It was the only coin related item this seller had out of couple hundred electronic listings so again, roll the dice.
On this one the Kennedy and the Washington are both showing PL tendencies unless possibly again the lighting is in the sellers favor.
But again this seller was a one off for coins so I doubt it was purposeful.
Please help me understand. The Kennedy half above looks to have a lot of scratches or something wrong on the surface. What makes this a MS?
Thanks,
Bob

So at long last my local credit union had $19 worth of halves...one roll was just all Bicentennials...but the other $9 worth had a 1964!!! and two 1968's (40% silver)! Wow, to be able to get a nice big silver coin (plus two 40%ers) at face value is quite the lucky find, is it not?

Mint State is basically uncirculated/unworn then other factors determine how good MS 60 thru 70 it is including and certainly not limited to strike, luster, and preservation. If you're referring to the '68 I was just pointing out the luster in the fields and how to spot it from sellers pics. And yes, there are some hits on that one and hopefully not too many.
The pics never tell the whole story in fact it's very likely that none of these coins will be worth grading. Once under a loupe and you figure out it wouldn't grade past 65 so, it goes to the resell pile. So in short, pictures of mint sets are never going to be very revealing and buying them is almost always a crap shot. So all you have left are tell tale signs to help limit the damage.
OK Thanks. So would all proof set coins be considered MS since they have never been circulated? Then other factors determine what grade in MS? Sorry for the simple questions but I am trying to learn. I have seen previous pages in this thread of coins received in rolls and sent in and get MS grades, so how would they get MS grades when they are circulated? I guess what I can do is scan a few coins and start a thread of what I think they would grade and compare that with what people here would think.
Thanks again,
Bob

if you are asking about semantics, a proof that has not circulated would probably be referred to as unimpaired since they are called impaired proofs when they have circulated. (impaired may also referred to damaged, heavily corroded etc)

you know, if we were all doing this like 8-12 years ago (when flat-rate was less than half for small boxes of the price they are now) it would be FUN to get a group together of about 5-10 people and once we search a group, send it to another person to look through to see if they could find something others have missed. it would kinda sting but be a good humored opportunity as well. i'd LOVE to learn about something i've been missing that i'd rather not although there are some things you all pull out that i don't any more, including some ddo, ddr, struck-through etc.
think of coin shows, online, shops etc where you KNOW many eyes have already looked at what you are looking at YET, still being able to find something you want.
a more recent OBVIOUS one happened to me when i attended a shop where i hadn't seen a particular person for many years and lo and behold, after months of not going myself, i run into this person (they got there before me partly due to construction), although i really couldn't place them til near the end of their visit upon which i tried to do some basic chit-chat and it didn't go very far BUT as irony would have it, a couple/few weeks later i go back and i go there first this time and they showed up after idk, 30-40 minutes. W O W. 2x on the same day out of years of attendance. SO, the first time, they were going through the foreign bucket while i was going through trays for type coins and slabs, of which i found a nice handful, then figured there wasn't much in the bucket but i hadn't done it in a while and said, why not. they bought, idk a dollar or two worth which is quite a few foreign coins and a hour or two later i had well over 3 pounds! so it is amazing sometimes what other aren't interested in, don't know to look for, don't have the money for, time, energy etc.
This set is on the way, I bought it because the Kennedy looks really good. You can see luster and the shadow around his bust
Wrong bust, but it looks like it could be good and for 7 bucks why not.
Then I was just window shopping and came across that same shadowy bust on a MS67. This could be good.
Then what do y’all think about these two?
This one looks PL but, if the light is diffused and still bright enough this phenomenon can happen. It was the only coin related item this seller had out of couple hundred electronic listings so again, roll the dice.
On this one the Kennedy and the Washington are both showing PL tendencies unless possibly again the lighting is in the sellers favor.
But again this seller was a one off for coins so I doubt it was purposeful.

Not too bad condition also
"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!
--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.Please help me understand. The Kennedy half above looks to have a lot of scratches or something wrong on the surface. What makes this a MS?
Thanks,

Mint State is basically uncirculated/unworn then other factors determine how good MS 60 thru 70 it is including and certainly not limited to strike, luster, and preservation. If you're referring to the '68 I was just pointing out the luster in the fields and how to spot it from sellers pics. And yes, there are some hits on that one and hopefully not too many.
The pics never tell the whole story in fact it's very likely that none of these coins will be worth grading. Once under a loupe and you figure out it wouldn't grade past 65 so, it goes to the resell pile. So in short, pictures of mint sets are never going to be very revealing and buying them is almost always a crap shot. So all you have left are tell tale signs to help limit the damage.
OK Thanks. So would all proof set coins be considered MS since they have never been circulated? Then other factors determine what grade in MS? Sorry for the simple questions but I am trying to learn. I have seen previous pages in this thread of coins received in rolls and sent in and get MS grades, so how would they get MS grades when they are circulated? I guess what I can do is scan a few coins and start a thread of what I think they would grade and compare that with what people here would think.
Thanks again,
Bob

if you are asking about semantics, a proof that has not circulated would probably be referred to as unimpaired since they are called impaired proofs when they have circulated. (impaired may also referred to damaged, heavily corroded etc)
They're only circulated if you want them to be otherwise they're proofs
just kiddin.
These are only some of my roll finds in the past year, finally decided to post them. I really like the 59
Sorry, somehow the pics are out of order. The wheat rear is the 58, obviously.
