Roll-searchers, post your results!

My latest penny roll swap with my local bank proved successful. One roll produced six wheaties and the remaining three from another three rolls. It was a fun search!

Went to my safe deposit box today so stopped at a teller, no lines. Only 8 rolls of dimes. Two rolls of nickels

 

Took advantage of a cashflow situation that allowed me to get a box of quarters, and boy did I find a good one!

Quarter box #1:
Silver: 1941, 1942, 1951, 1957-D, 1960-D x2, 1964 x5, 1964-D x5

Bicentennial: 1976-D x11

2025-P Althea Gibson, the first one I ever found (and strangely still not found one of these from Denver, even though that mint's a lot closer)

Other notable finds:
Really nice 2003-D Illinois, 2006-D Nebraska, and 2025-D Ida B. Wells. Felt worth saving.

Now I got a lot of coin rolling to do lol but it was worth it.

 

Wow, that's quite a box!

 

16 silver quarters? That's incredible, congratulations!

 

1 box isn't enough to establish a pattern, but I'm pretty amazed, as that's more silver than I found in 10 boxes of dimes. (And yet the single quarter I was most excited to find was the Althea Gibson lol.) I'm still not sure how I got a box with that much silver in it, because that can't possibly be typical. It was all Loomis wrapped, btw. Kind of debating if I want to start a 1932-1998 quarter album as I got a good start on the silver years. Maybe eventually. Quarters are fun to go through and not nearly as much of a strain on the eyes as dimes are, the only downside is it's harder to scrape together enough to get a whole box all at once.

I'm not really complaining, much, as this was an amazing box, but the one disappointment was not finding any semiquincentennial stuff lol. It's weird I've just not seen any yet.

P.S. I decided to put the Illinois quarter in my 7070 type set as the example for a state quarter. I previously had a 2007-S Utah clad proof there but it felt weirdly random to have that one (it was a leftover from a proof set I broke open for an anniversary gift for my parents, that I needed the Washington State quarter from). I was born in Illinois so a nice quarter from that state felt more personal. Still keeping the Utah proof in my book of "random US stuff I don't have albums for or is otherwise worth saving (plus medals and tokens)."

Keeping at least 1 of every date/mintmark of silver Washington quarters I find in case I ever want to do an album for them, and the rest of the spare silver quarters I found putting in a roll and saving (may cash them in if I get a significant number of them).

 

A few rolls of nickels today. All separated by year. First one opened had three silvers. Kept hoping for some Wartime. Found them! 24 silvers one roll for 27 total! Gotta go through them all later. Maybe a Henning or some DD. One can only dream
