    Quarter box #5:
    OK tougher box, but still got some things.
    Silver: Nada (first box spoiled me lol)
    W: 2020-W American Samoa, a little scratched up, but a W is a W! Already have one of these, but the day I stop getting excited about finding a W is the day I quit roll-hunting quarters lol.
    Bicentennial: 1976, 1976-D x11
    Semiquincentennial: Finally reached the point, 3/4 into the year, where the first semiquincentennial quarter is showing up in significant numbers (in boxes anyway; it's oddly still rare in circulation where I am, despite being very close to the Denver mint). Got almost enough Mayflower quarters to fill 2 rolls! So filled up one roll, and when I fill up the second (for my dad), that will be the point I stop bothering to save these. Found a few Declaration of Independence, but sadly no July 4.

    Have made the "executive decision" that just looking pretty nice is not enough justification to save quarters from the state/national park/American Women series, because was getting too many of them, and I already finished complete sets of them(I'm a coin collector, not a crow lol; being shiny is not enough reason to save something). So... saving them only if proof, S-business strike, W, or some kind of significant error/variety. But will always save 2025 Althea Gibson because that is still a rare thing to see in circulation. If I get enough Gibsons to fill a roll I'll stop there lol.

    And I'm... suddenly not quite so sure of my own identity!

    Lol, well no offense intended to any corvids on the site. It's just that when I got into roll hunting en masse, I started to realize I had to decide what qualified as worth saving or I'd run out of room for at all. I wanted something that qualified as some kind of organized collection, not just a hoard of coins everywhere.

    I still have to admit my attention span is sometimes weak and my collection is still full of a lot of random stuff, but if I can look at any one thing in my collection and remember why I wanted to keep it, I figure I'm doing something right.
