I've been casually collecting rolled BU state quarters, and am ready to do something about it -- meaning, open them up and look through them. I got some North Dakota rolls from the mint and looked through them last night -- wanted to know what true "mint state" coins were like, so I know for comparison (the rolls from the bank are in the clear plastic from Brinks). Is it a good idea to send some of these quarters to be slabbed and graded? Some are really good, to my mostly untrained eye. Although, I did just watch an ANA video about grading MS coins, and it was helpful in some ways. A general but recurring observation is that coins from the Denver mint are of higher quality than Philadephia. I wish I could get more P rolls around here (West Coast) because I like searching for errors. Any easterners want to swap bank rolls? (unsearched, of course) I got some Colorado-D rolls last week, and will try again today to see what they might have. Does it help to have friends who work in banks? I bet that would be a good idea.
