Was making a deposit the other day and always peak in the coin tray.
Asked the teller about some and she says, "I just got in some shiny ones!"
Who deposits proof coins?? I got a roll of Kennedy halves, $7 in quarters and 5 dimes.

Probably from an estate. The heirs didn't know or care. It was just more cash to them.
Nobody buys proofs to just deposit them in the bank....chances are someone somewhere is missing some coins....
Me being a big gun guy. It is very important to teach gun safety to those in my household. Also teach my kids what to do when they might come across said guns. On the flip side, Me being a coin collector. I feel it is important to teach my household about what coins may float around the house. AND ALSO NOT TO SPEND THEM! haha cool find man!
Earlier this week, someone pointed out that proof sets are virtually worthless, and you may as well spend them.
Then us crazy collectors go and pull them out of circulation....because they're special!
(I would have too....just saying, we can't make up our minds).
They would all have to grade P70Cam to make back the grading fees!
I got some circulated $2 Bills with red seals some cashier dumped on me once. Why do I keep them? The things are worthless. Sometimes us junk collectors just can't help ourselves.
Nice haul of drawer stuffers
This.
Busted up some Proof sets from the early 1970s earlier this summer. To Coinstar!
Forty year losers for the prior owners.
Great material for a blue book, type set, or such.
Otherwise face value to my eyes.

1st Grandchild on Monday - will save them for him.
That's cool.
Nice. Is that a thin layer grease strike thru on the 93?
Yesterday I was talking to a teller in a small town branch of one of my banks that was saying about six months ago they had a bunch of $1 silver certificates, $2 Legal Tenders and silver halves coming in from a commercial, ie convenience store that got them over a period of about a month. At least the tellers knew what they were getting and bought them.
.
If you want to get rid of those worthless red seals I will buy them all at face.
Sigh... If only some of them were the 90% silver versions.
Congrats Lakesammgrandpoppop!
it happens more often than you might think. I went through a friend's miscellaneous assortment of Kennedy halves and other things as a favor recently and found three circulated proofs -- a 2010-S clad Kennedy, a proof 1964 quarter (!) and a 1973-S quarter.
Kind regards,
George
For collectors, it is always fun and interesting to find proof coins in circulation..... especially nice ones such as the OP found....Most of us will keep them... Cheers, RickO
fun finds

Not true,
just deposited about 45 proof halves and about 20 proof quarters and several nickels and cents fri,
Nobody is buying this stuff at all.
Got lucky once and the teller said she had some Ike's just come in if I wanted them. Purchase about 350$ worth. About half look like UNCs , not a mark on them. No silver:(
