I dont know much about quarters but I have a roll of "Florida residents only" 2004 P Quarters. Now it states on the package that they are brilliant never circulated florida state quarters. I went to PCGS to look up the price and it has at 68 the value at 450 or so. I take it that is for each. How would I know the grade of the roll? Any comments?

Sorry to disappoint but extremely unlikely you have any MS 68 coins.............
How much did you pay for the roll?
You might could make $3-$4 on it on ebay if you paid close to $10 for it.

Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
Typical sleezy marketing ploy.
Break it open and give them to young kids.
Plant an acorn...grow a tree.
I am going to crack her open, how can I tell what the grade is? I could have sworn that I saw something on PCGS on grading, but I cant seem to find it now.
To answer your question, never. However, an uncirculated coin can have lots of dings, gashes, marks and nicks - as long as all of them happened at the Mint during the transferring and sorting of the coins.
Uncirculated coins can range from MS-60 to MS-70 on a scale from 1 to 70. MS means "mint state." MS-60 coins can look pretty bad and they are still uncirculated if they haven't been spent, inserted into vending machines, slid across the tabletop, carried in a pocket or purse, etc. The type of wear from circulation is different from what the Mint does to them, in a general sense.
The roll you got may have already been prescreened, and the nicer coins might have been replaced with other dinged-up ones. If you practice looking at coins long enough, it won't be long before you can distinguish between an MS-62 and an MS-67. Sometimes, that much difference is worth money.
Coin World has a monthly magazine insert called Coin Values which has a section about grading every issue. Each issue covers a different coin series, but you can learn something just from looking at one issue. Good Luck!
I knew it would happen.
<< <i>Yeah, it was a bunch of crap, uncir. my ass. To be fair, they were not that bad, but all had some dings or small scratches. Since when does just being shiny mean it is uncirculated? >>
My suggestion is to become a bit more educated on the grading issue.......Try buying ..The Official American Numismatic Association Grading Standards for United States Coins or the
Official Guide to Coin Grading and Counterfeit Detection from PCGS......you'll find both books helpful in grading.
