Picking up 20 boxes of the new pres. bucks today...search um or

weigh um.....?

Seems like the rolls are pretty consistent in weight, if there are any of the quarter planchet ones in them it should be easy to determine without opening the rolls.

    I have a YN that can't understand why all the "cool" modern errors always seem to come out of the Phily Mint. image

    Florida always seems like a gold mine for Mint screw-ups!

    Off metal dollars? ? ?
    Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set:
    1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

    WOW - 20 boxes

    did you get the 20 boxes because of the news that the wrapping company found quarter strikes

    or are yah looking for errors & 66,67's ???

    You might start by seeing how sensitive your scales are.
    Take a case and then remove 10-20-30 dollars and replace them with quarters.
    Can your scales detect the difference?? Let that be your guide.

    P.S. good luck.......maybe lighting will strike twice!

    Jewelers scale..........if only 1 quarter planchet is in the roll it will weigh over 2 grams less, already did alot of practice runs, works like a charm.

    Will you open the rolls to look at each individual coin? How long will that take if you do?

    Yeah, we always look at all of them but just for obvious things like Rotated Dies, MEL's and High Grades...........it takes forever..we still have boxes of GW's and Adams we have not opened yet.

    edited to add.....As I said in a thread the other day we have a Glory WR200 Coin Rolling Machine (40 rolls a min.)

    If any of the Quarter Planchet errors get thru,I would think that they would have to get flattened out in order to make it thru the machine, A regular Quarter Planchet gets rejected by my machine when it is set on dollars.

    I want to take a vote for you to receive the "YOU SUCK AWARD" again this year. Buying 20k in rolls, man you suck. I'll be lucky to get just 1 at a time.
