    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.

    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.

    Finished going through $1k in quarters and $40 in nickels. Found 5 pre-1960 nickels, but none of note. On the quarters, 1x W and 1 silver. Me and the boys still need the 2012d El Yunque and Chaco Culture quarters to finish off the folder. We've been stuck on those two for a while. Probably gone through $3k in quarters trying to find them, and still nothing.

    My friendly bank teller had only one penny roll to swap with me today. Noteworthy finds were a 1943-S steelie, a pretty 1968-D, and a 1970-S.
