    I'm kinda getting over this W thing anyway.(at least for the moment) I have my coin spending money tied up in a 500 box of quarters and it cost 60.00 each time I visit coinstar to re-up. I have not the patience to rewrap or wait for my bank to deposit so I can go buy another box of old quarters. And meanwhile, my feelers out there are calling me saying they have coins that just came in. No pressure!!!

    I wouldn't. I've been through about 200 so far, and I'm only sending 9 (should probably be 8, but I'm curious what they'll do with the grade on one.). The overwhelming majority are 65 and lower or details coins.

    Are going to send any in?
    That blank planchet slabbed would make a nice slabbed compliment. You might be able to get the special label for the W's too.

    What are you wanting to sell your rejects for? I would love to send a few in to grade if you are selling them

    Funny how the sellers who claim to have the ballistic bag don't show their own pictures of it. Sorry, not buying the story (or the coins).

    But he did show a few pictures of him pouring the W into the bag, its Mr Ryder himself......

    NOT!
    Another strange occurrence is that he is selling 1 coin at a time and he has ONLY 6 of them???

    Why don't you get a credit union membership. I take all my coins there and run them through their coin country. They frown on anything over $500 so I go to several different branches and cash $500 at each one then go out and find OTHER banks to sell me more quarters. Coinstar use is expensive.

    @pitboss . Thanks Pitboss, that sounds like a great idea. So, when I walk into a local Credit Union should I be asking if they have a Coin Country? Or change machine I suppose.

    @pitboss. My bank will take loose coins but I have to wait a day until they run it then deposit it. Plus, I am self employed and don't need to run up my tax bill by showing all these 500.00 deposits and withdrawals. So again Thanks!

    After initial purchase, my local credit union exchanges the re-rolled boxes for new sealed boxes.

    I sent 8 out yesterday. Expecting a mix of 65-66 (one has longshot of 67). Will have a bunch more today to go through to get in the mail for the label. Hoping for a 67, but not optimistic...

    We have a few local banks (not credit unions) that still have coin machines available for use at no charge. I try not to deposit more than $500-600 at a time. The machines fill up or run into issues if you do too much at a time. I also try to "spread the love" by using multiple branches of the same bank for deposits.

    I did manage to make the first 67 Lowell-P yesterday. They're proving to be a challenge...

    It would be a ton of fun to go through a $50k bag for errors and gem coins before they get screwed up getting put into rolls. But could you imagine trying to deposit and/or spend $50k in quarters?

    Amen to that! I've been searching for a Lowell W but I love looking through 10+ rolls of quarters but man that's a LOT of quarters and like you said you know it's the best you can get

    Having made more purchases in cash in the past couple weeks than I have in the last 6 months just to get a few lousy quarters, I still haven't even gotten a 2019 ANYTHING yet.

    And life goes on... :wink:

    Wasn't expecting them until June. I guess this is where they double-down to line the quarters up with the ballistic bags. Will make roll hunting significantly more challenging/time-consuming/possibly rewarding.

    They should ship some of them to the states a litter further away instead of all on the east coast to the mid west. None are being found much west of Kansas City.

    I have gone through 20 boxes but have not found any yet. I bought was I have but have resold all but a few already. My problem is the banks in Albuquerque don't buy their coins from the fed reserve as the fed charges for them. It is cheaper for them to buy re-rolled ones from Brinks or whoever they deal with. I have tried 50 or 60 banks and its the same story. I have not sent any in because I don't want any 65 or 66's and I am not quite sure how good I am about picking out good coins but I do have those 3 that look pretty good. Most of the coins I have seen have heavy hits across Washington's face.
