    Today...
    While trying different banks.
    At this Chase,
    The teller told me, they have the NEW 2026 QUARTERS!
    These are the NEW ONES...
    Awwwwwww!
    Oh well,


    "Close, but no cigar!"
    Oh, what a shame!

    Would you please flip each of those quarters over so we can see the other side?
    Thanks!

    when the ballistic bag runs out, the stick anything in to fill the batch

    a "box of new quarters" may not all be new

    I do realize that guys, thanks.
    Nothing special at all in these, including the non- 2026.

    If you would balance each one on their edge/rims and take a photo of the reeding. That would be helpful. Followed up by a reed count of each quarter too.
    Thanks!

    Thanks!

    Reeds are hard to count on the quarters. You have to count them at least twice.

    The number of undiscovered Reed errors is staggering!

    No privy marks yet, but I'm going to find one. Or more... :blush:
    When I do...I might politely hijack this thread for a moment lol.

    Sure!
    Good Luck, my friend.

    Welcome back Joey!
    I appreciate your stoke (enthusiasm)!

    I’m not on here much these says as I get my kicks by watching the clouds blowing by, listening to and playing music, and watching the gradual progression of the bright old coins I’ve set out on my windowsill.

    Best of luck to you though!
    Wise to ditch the sports cards I suppose. Like casinos, it’s a carefully rigged game.
    Wherever your passion is is best!
    Hopefully, that’s coins!!!
    At least there’s the element of randomness and surprise 👍👍👍

    Still haven't let go entirely.
    I'm patiently waiting for my recent submission.
    Very pumped actually!

    To keep it "coin related.
    After 40 Halves rolls...

    One more funny story before calling it a night.
    😆
    Check this out guys.
    After I got my HALVES BOX.
    I decided to try one more bank for some more.
    They said, "they had none but one customer wrapped roll."
    I told them, "nahhhh".
    Then I quickly said, " yeah, let me have it"

    Well, I totally forgot I had this in my bag until moments ago!
    😆
    So, I quickly opened it.
    😆
    Look...

    😆
    After 40 Bank Box rolls...
    NOTHING!
    After just one Customer Wrapped roll...

    BANG SILVER!




    Boy 'o Boy, very good condition too!

    Darn, I love this Hobby!
    Goodnight Y'all
    Thanks
    <3

    Thats nice and clean for a 40%, nice catch

    Thanks
    And bc of the rise in silver value...

    $8+

    Almost the cost of an whole roll!
    B)
    Only one more thing concerning determination.
    After all my experience in coins, I still
    CANNOT determine whether it's from a
    "SPECIAL MINT SET"
    or just an ordinary
    "BUSINESS STRIKE"

    ???

    😆🤣
    It certainly has that

    "MATTE FINISH"

    appearance, doesn't it?

    It doesn't really make any difference, at least in that standard BU condition.

    Thanks,
    I always thought the
    SMS Halves had a slight premium?
    Another thing I love doing when I find some Silver Halves.
    I love dipping them in
    EZEST!
    Most of the time they really
    POP with Luster!
    It makes a huge difference.
    Check it out.

    A local friend picked up a roll of 40% Kennedy halves at his bank a couple days ago at face. My guess is that something like this would happen to someone's misfortune. One of our coin club members died in a senior complex and the family told the painters to empty everything out of his condo, put his stuff in the dumpster and that they were welcome to anything.
