1965-1998 Clad Quarters Share us your collection and why

Wow. I never thought of that - getting coins from the laundrymat.

Do you just get change from the coin changer or do you talk to the owner/supervisors and swap $$ for it ?

Just from the coin changer and whatever leftover of the new quarters is what I trade with the customers. Some owner/supervisor doesn't want to deal with it so I don't bother them twice.

 

Coin Roll Hunting requires big amount of dollars when buying box of quarters.

Laundrymat gets me away by $5 up to $20 of change at a time. Much more affordable and a lot of times customers are more than happy to trade their existing Washington Quarters since they don't collect. Some customers collect the new ATB quarters but I have them all already and I have some uncirculated rolls from the US Mint.

 

I never thought of laundry mats or other places that require you to use quarters.

 

Washington Quarters are getting phased out by the new ATB Quarters and we won't be seeing much of them in circulation. My goal is to collect as much as I can and will pass these on to the kids and encourage them to collect coins. Both of my kids are now coin collectors with the ATB quarters

 

Yes and the new trend emerging is coinless digital laundrymat places.

 

I've been purchasing 90% 'junk silver' lots on eBay auctions + bags of 90% silver coins from online dealers since Jan. 2016, when the price of silver was at a low spot of 13.96 (but premiums were high) - in the years since then, I've spread out my purchases to average the spot price from $14 - $20. I always look for low premiums over melt value and take advantage of eBay bucks and % off coupons

 

can try car washes too.

 

It's nice to be able to collect old silver coins but they are just very expensive and I don't want to pay a premium, let alone the time we collectors spend time in sorting them and storing them.

 

Good Idea. I will target them too. I will be flying to New Mexico and driving back to Los Angeles with the family and will utilize two laundrymat places there. Will drop $40 and hopefully get lots of Washington Quarters..

 

I think I'll try this tonight. We have 2 laundrymats and 1 car wash that only take quarters. I'll try $10 at each place just to see what I get.

 

Bring two plastic cups...They are going to think that you're homeless..LOL..

 

1960s and 1970s quarters are almost gone.
1980s are starting to disappear but are still abundant
1990s are sure a lot and there are some that are almost uncirculated.

I would give this series in 2-4 years completely gone or mostly damage by then. Now is the last opportunity to get them.

 

Went to one of the Coin Laundry places and exchanged $10 to quarters.

Out of $10,
I got $3.75 in Washington's,
and $0.25 in a drummer boy quarter.
And $6 in moderns.
40% isn't bad compared to just getting regular change.

Though at the change machine was a BIG sign saying quarters for Laundry Washing customers ONLY. Made me felt like I walked in holding up the place!! LOL

FYI, I only separate them from (a) moderns and (b) Washingtons.

 

Got 20 quarters only after hitting two laundrymat. Good enough as I expect the coin hunting to be up and down meaning there are some times where I get a lot of WQ but this time its just low but I'll take whatever I can. As you can tell the 1st row is the 1960, 2nd row 1970, 3rd row 1980 and 4th row 1990. The 1960 and 1970s are almost gone and I'm not seeing a lot of the 1970's to 1979 because this series years are very low mintage. But the 1980 are still abundance but started to show scarcity in compare against the 1990 series.

Happy Collecting everyone.

 

That is great news and it means that your area is heavily circulated of Washington Quarters. I only got 20 coins today. There is always tomorrow.

Happy Collecting

 

Lucky me I just completed a roll of 1994 P Washington Quarters.

 

YTD Inventory of Washington Quarters
30 rolls
1178 loose quarters..
Total: 2,378
Next Goal: 3,000

 

The modern quarters that I have are all ATB uncirculated PDS, halves, American Eagle Silver, Native American all from rhe U.S. Mint and I will acquire more moving forward instead of acquiring old US coins. Its just a big premium. The new uncirculated coins from the US Mint are a little bit cheaper.

 

Lucky Breakfast for me. Total 41 coins. 2 drummer boy and 39 Washington Quarters. Rescued from circulation forever. I hope to get some more by lunch..

1st row 1960
2nd row 1970
3rd row 1980 lots of it.
4th row 1990s
