    Wow!! Way cool. image

    That's not that bad really and is a nice solid MS-61.

    It would be a good idea to make a little run of the banks in the area and/ or go to
    the place where you got it and ask where they do their banking. Then ask if they
    have any nice shiny quarters in the register you can buy.

    Good luck.

    I do'nt collect the statehood qtrs so I have never followed the prices but I think this would need to grade 64 or 65 to see $200 or better.

    All I can say is WOW! image People have gone through countless rolls looking for what you got in change!
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Great find!

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Great find! Have any of these been found outside the south west?
