The description of what you would be getting from the Bradford exchange doesn't make any sense either. If you got two coins of each design from each mint that would be thirty coins if they include San Francisco or twenty if they don't. If they mean two coins of each design, one from each mint then they obviously aren't including San Francisco, but that would be only ten coins not twelve. No matter what I would agree with the others here though, I wouldn't touch the deal.
Parks quarters They are showing up but not very often a small bank in a walmart in south dakota has had rolls of hot springs and got yellowstones today ...picked up 4 rolls each h/t can only afford so much fun goose
I am frustrated when I have asked at several banks and they all say they don't have them. Yet I look online and I see a $10 roll of these suckers selling for $18.
i can get $10 rolls from the mint downtown at cost, but then i figured what i'd need to charge to break even. Even selling a single new quarter to break even (not a single penny of profit) would cost me 77 cents to package and ship out. Then selling a single quarter on Ebay just to break even would be about $1.50. I understand these guys selling a roll for $18 are barely making profit. I thought about offering single quarters on here for 77 cents each but i'm sure half a dozen people would still think i was out to make profit and would jump down my throat. But right now, i'm buying rolls of uncirculated Yellowstone quarters, looking through them for errors, and then spending them on my laundry.
Say you offered 5 rolls for $50 and the buyer paid for shipping (here on the forums), even if you sold them for $12 each, wouldn't you still make out? Wouldn't that still be better than using them for laundry?
Absolutely, that would work out. Shipping plus the packaging (and i'd need to use insurance) would be like $15 for 5 rolls. I would charge dime more for shipping/packaging than it cost me, but it sure adds up quick.
3 rolls for $12 would give you $36, free tracking with no insurance and shipping for $4.95, I'm looking at $41, yes?
That sounds about right, although i would have to wait to see exactly how much i am charged to ship, plus i'd have to protect the amount i'm sending out with insurance, because if the package would be lost (however unlikely), it would be my responsibility.
being laid off with TONS of time I bought $4000 of halves, $1000 of pennies, and $2000 of quarters from the bank... after beggin them... I was so excited of my coin adventure. I found NOTHING. The "only" coins I kept were a few halves that were AU... Not ONE quarter was kept... and I only found 7 wheaties (all 40's) I had read that getting boxes of Kennedy Halves almost always would net some silver. And I thought I'd MAYBE get a roll or two of the state park stuff. Not a coin. Folks it's really easy. These banks CAN get the coins you want. Period. What stops them from being forthright isn't the process of getting you the coins (even though this does take time and money) but they DON'T want the change BACK into their system as it THEN costs them... They watched the idiots get hundreds of rolls on a Friday payday, then Monday come in with milk jugs full of loose change.... NOT fun for the bankers...
On the Parks quarters they CAN'T specifically order them that is the official word from the FED. That does not mean that a bank won't get them if they just order quarters. It all depends on what happens to be in stock when they go to fill the order. If they are out of circulated quarters or older Unc quarters they will send out Parks quarters. Even full boxes of them.
