How easy or hard to find is an OBW roll of 1982D quarters?

SanctionII · February 22, 2011 4:50AM

I ask this because I found such a roll in a coffee can of change at my father's house last weekend.

I am tempted to open the roll, but also think it would be cool to keep it as is.

According to my grey sheet, it's a hundred and sixty dollars hard......
That's a great find. I wouldn't open it either. A great clad roll to have....

Oh, go ahead and open it. I mean these are not 1909 SVDBs even if nice. Maybe you should open it and put it in one of those Carson City Bank wrappers..LOL

Seriously, if there are nice ones you may be able to submit and get some good grades on a few and make it worth your while...

I'll trade ya 3 SAEs for it

Gem 1982-D Quarters are tough to find. way to go, Dad.

If a guy were into OBW rolls, it would be a keeper as is. Ahem.

I agree. You find an MS-67 or even a 66, and you'll be glad you did.

Still, wait for Cladking to weigh in...

KEEP IT AS IS.

LindeDad · February 22, 2011 11:10AM

If only it were a year younger.

but that one is a keeper toooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

GrumpyEd · February 22, 2011 11:36AM

Most 82 & 83 rolls are keepers because there were not many hoarded and there were no mint sets.

Nice find!

83 quarters would be even better.

'82-D would be a king of modern rolls but a pallet of these were found in Kansas City in
1985 as legend has it and they were saved. A pallet isn't a huge amount but it's plenty
to make a roll look common.

As nearly as I can tell if this pallet realy exists there don't seem to be many type "d"
reverses in it. Type "d' was a large percentage of production (~20%) so it's still not
rare but it's a lot more interesting if there are some here.

Look for a large gap between the right side of the N in UNUM and the eagle's head (if
you open it).

I'd guess there are 120,000 uncs plus whatever is still on that pallet.

They could very well be in 73 years. Matter of fact, any 82, 82-D, 83, or 83-D original roll of Washingtons could very well be as they are far less common than 09-SVDB's which can be purchased on ANY day of the week at ANY time.

If it is was found and on a pallet I bet I know who owns them!

That's interesting.

I've never been able to get any confirmation for this story.

This kind of blows my dozen or so BU coins that I've collected through the years, right out of the water.

This easy?

Easier to find a ROLL of 1909sVDB's? Don't think so. Also if CK is right - 120,000 coins PLUS a pallet would mean a whole lot of coins, and certainly more uncs than there are of that penny.

What is so exciting about a roll just sitting there. Open it, and grade out what looks good IMO.

You're right but the '09-S VDB started off with more a quarter million coins set aside. The attrition
on the '09-S VDB has been quite low for many decades but the '82-D is still fairly high. In a hundred
years I'd bet the the quarter will be the scarcer coin at least in choice Unc.

How easy or hard to find is an OBW roll of 1982D quarters?

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
