Give quarters a try and what is your quarter luck?

[50cent]

yo everyone. Just curious on how you all have been with quarters? I was hitting them pretty well earlier in the year, found several. Now, every single box has been 100% skunk.

Some of the ones I found earlier this year are in this thread.

My advice, they vary between region, and they are WORTH a try, before you jump to conclusions.

Was going to make a new post but decided to add to this one. Dimes have slowed in my area. I was killing it in December pulling mercs left and right out of boxes. Decided to get a box of quarters yesterday and 9 th roll in got a 41! A few rolls later a 62-d! That was it for the box. Very nice surprise. This ties my best quarter box. Last time found 2 silver in the same roll. I think for a couple weeks I may keep going with quarters in between my half orders. HH

Ive had pretty good luck. Only doing 10 rolls, got 11 quarters from 1956 to 1964. Pretty sure it was beginner's luck though.

Dimes have been terrible for me. I might go out and buy quarter boxes!! My dime average dropped down to 1 silver per 3 boxes, I think quarters might be the way to go.

Today was my bag day and I purchased a partial bag of quarters (about $560) on a whim and scored my first CRH silver quarter, a 64d! I guess I'll make some room in the budget for about $500 in quarters every Saturday. You never know...

I am going to start buying a box a week as well. They are so easy to get rid of. I have a couple local banks that love when I bring them quarters. I guess there only allowed to purchase a certain amount , and they always run low. As long as every other box produces one I will stay with them.

Hi all , i purchased my first ever roll of quarters today after reading this thread last night. I asked the guy at the local grocery store if I could buy 1 roll. We'll I found a 1967, a 1964, a 1963 and a 1970. Needless to say I am now hooked!!

The 1967 and 1970 quarters are only worth a quarter.

I thought they had 40% silver or is that true only for half dollars?

Still- 2 silver qtrs in your first roll That's nuts. You should buy some lottery tix cuz you are really lucky.

2 quarter boxes and like 3000$ in CWR rolls since I started collecting coins at the age of 4-5 years old in 2003. I'm 15 now.

The only silver quarter I've ever found was actually at a garage sale that my neighbor's had across the street.
1946 silver quarter...it's currently the only coin in my quarter album at the moment lol

 

[scotter1]

can you tell me what years im looking for and what to do with them if i find them

 

[iontyre]

Actually if the 70 is not a 'D', that is the only Washington clad quarter (1965 - 1998) that I need to fill my collection of the circulated issues.

 

[bottlecap]

Small sample size for me 50, I've done two boxes and found one silver. I agree with you, they may be worth a shot and like others said they are easier to acquire and they also seem to fly under the radar a little better than halves when dumping.

The problem with quarters is that there is nothing fun about them, you can tell a dirty clad from a dirty silver in the moon light. So at least this is my theory why people are able to "find" silver quarters in rolls and take them out of supply so quickly.

been awhile since I hit quarters, This summer I'm going to up my game.

bottle cap, you be right dawg.

You may regret that sentiment some day. The mintages of some of the recent quarters (2009 - 2012) have been quite low historically, and some (Arcadia, Chaco Culture) at less than 25 million per mint are exceptional, almost like the days of the SLQ's. I'm hanging on to all of those I see.
