Image shows only 18 rolls but all told, 40+ roll of uncirculated coins!! Put away many years ago as witnessed by the plastic tubes with masking tape seal. Masking tape is old and brittle.

1963 doubled die obverse. Philadelphia.
There must be millions of similar 1963 quarters.
18 rolls times 40 coins per roll totals 720 quarters shown in the photo. Each coin is roughly 0.18 ounce of silver. At a spot price of $50.00 per ounce each quarter has a melt value of $9.00. Total melt value (at $50.00 spot) for the 720 quarters shown in the photo is $6,480.00 (with the rolls having a face value of $180.00).
If there are in fact 40 rolls (or 40+) the 1,600 quarters in those 40 rolls would have a melt value (at $50.00 spot) of $14,400.00 (with the 40 rolls having a face value of $400.00).
An ultra-common date from the height of the early 1960s roll and bag boom. With silver as high as it is they should be sold as is. Let somebody else gamble on finding minor varieties of very high grades. That way there will be no slabbing expense or related delays.
Hard to believe a Quater has almost $10 in silver nowadays. Nice haul!

May I ask how you ended up with this collection?

I would have to assume that there has to be some (even a small amount) of high grade specimens there.

I doubt you can get too great a premium right now. Perhaps if they're brilliant and well made with one spread open you could get a significant premium. Someone will probably search them and melt the balance. I would search them myself and trade off the balance. '63 quarters are not easy in Gem due to strike. I doubt these are Denvers but these tend to come much nicer. Even in Gem neither mint is scarce and there are a lot more of these rolls.
Nice. Did the price of silver shake em out of the closet? Unfortunately sometimes it’s a death.
Nice big stash.
That can be a dangerous assumption in early 1960s rolls.
