Are bicentennial quarters worth anything over face?

For some reason....there have been a ton in the cash registers where I work. I mean rolls upon rolls. I have seen more than half of the quarter bin filled with them!
Someone finally cash out after years of holding them hoping they would go up in value?

What he said. Except for the 1976-D DDO-1 quarter, which is worth a big premium.

I agree with nearly all of what Tom B says.

There was someone several years ago with a standing offer to pay 28 cents each for these, I believe he ran a regular classified ad in CW.

Yes. The guy in the back of Coin World currently pays $11.50 per roll for these (or 28.75 cents each.) On eBay they go for around $14-$15.00 per roll.
Also, I'm not surprised that a lot more of these are turning up in circulation all of a sudden. It's definitely a sign of the economy... many people are cashing in their coin collections just to try and make ends meet. This is further evidenced by the fact that the Mint's circulating coin production figures have fallen off a cliff in 2009.
For several years I would give her whatever I found and after she died we had collected about 3 mason jars full.
I ended up just cashing in on them because they aren't worth much more than face in circulated condition.
However; the experience probably fueled my current coin collecting addiction.
And it made me feel good to be giving things to help her, no matter what the face value was.

When you factor in shipping costs, it would be cheaper to just spend them.

How would I recognize its markings. I hoard many bicentennial quarters thinking they were worth something. The silver quarters are certainly still good to hoard, though. That type of picking is still worthwhile with the way silver prices have been going.

I opened one roll, and sold a couple others. I still have 2 unopened, but I have never checked them with a loupe.

One of the primary reasons for my continued stay here is due to the joy derived from the laughter others instill.
Thank you for that !!!

Which is why 40% halves, and Ike Dollars are making frequent appearances in my bank's teller drawers until I occasion them. Also seeing many older USA notes like 1934 and 1950 etc.
