Is that a roll of quarters in your pocket?

Nah, just a tube of $2 1/2's... :) I had a little fun tonight with some of my Indians and tubed them up. It was heavier than I was expecting. Interesting fact.. they are all the same date!

    Neat! It would be fun to collect gold by the roll, if it weren't so expensive!

    Judging by the reeded edge, the eleventh coin is counterfeit..... ;)

    I already took them back out and put them back in their holders, and they are out of order, so I have no way of knowing which to go double check. Shoot. I am usually pretty good at spotting the fakes, but may have missed one. Hopefully not though!

    No wonder that it's so heavy, there are over fifty coins in that tube! I guess if you have 'em, flaunt 'em. :o

    He might be joking, but who knows. There are enough fakes out there that I would not be surprised if one of them was a really good fake. I SHOULD have added a Liberty in the mix, to see if people could spot it. For some reason those look thicker to me.

    The Question is: Is it a "made roll" or is it a repackaged original roll? :p

    Found 3 so far. 2 graded xf45 at PCGS, and one was AU55 I believe at NGC. All bought as 1911 :) I am scared to sell any plain 1911 in fear it is really a D! haha. So I've kinda just saved most 1911's I've bought, and set them aside.

    wrap some dimes in paper, and put 2 indians on each outer edge, and sell on eBay as OBW of $2.5, just like they came from the mint when released...

    nice...I've got nothing like that in my collection. LOL, maybe a roll of assorted dates of circulated Lincoln cents from the 80s and 90s. I know, you're jealous.

    We used to keep common circ $2-1/2's in a dime tube. They don't rattle like they would in a quarter tube.

    These pics bring back lots of memories. At a CSNA in the mid 80's Leon Hendrickson
    had 10+ plus tubes of varying denoms of gold that were counterfeit. Not for sale
    as he was going to melt them. I always thought that was a neat thing to do.

    I love small gold in rolls. The heft of gold really is something to behold.
    Grading out lots of $20 Libs you should only pick up a few at a time. Otherwise your hand gets tired from how heavy they are.

    Nah this is the type of stuff I'll grade out for work. I need to start taking more images of them laid out.
    I can see it now 300 $20 gold pieces laid out over lapping each other.....it's the type of image that begs to be a computer background.

    Very nice pictures of large groups of coins! I don't have anywhere near that number of any one kind of gold coin, but someday will take out all of my raw 1805-1828 quarters from their flips and carefully stack them together, about 2 rolls.
