I think we have a winner.

 

yeah, I don't think these are all clad.. maybe a few. I'll post some more pics later just to make sure.

 

Could be a price code either his or the person he got them from. Say a simple code where A =1 B=2 C=3 etc . and the rolls were $13 each.

 

The tape may be a mess, but he saved the coins from spilling out. Those old hard plastic tubes get brittle with age and the tops don't like to stay on anymore.

That's a good point.. but I should post a picture one of the boxes we pulled out of the bank. paper rolls, old pill bottles, you name it.. he used it to store coins in. There really wasn't a rhyme or reason behind it outside of the idea that he didn't like to spend money on storing his coins.

The problem I'm coming across too is that it appears that he didn't handle the coins carefully. I've found many with obvious rubbing/fingerprints from where he would touch the faces of the coins. I'm sure that he would say "Well what's the point in collecting coins if I can't touch them!"

Ok I got a winner Average Circulated i did a little google search and this is what I found
http://www.shopnbc.com/product/?fam...&prop=New+Items|1643&cm_re=SearchList-_-N-_-N

they are selling AC-BU coins meaning AVERAGE CIRCULATED to BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED COINS

 

So what are they worth?

 

LOL! :mouth:

 

Awesome work Ben! That fits these to a T. I searched but couldn't find a AC grade equivalent. Any ideas? We talking MS-60 or AU-50 or lower?
-----------
AC aside, could somebody grade the coins from the first post of this thread?

 

I think AC is a lower grade than AU.

 

I found this link that explains the grading..

"Washington Quarters:
1932 to 1940 - Typically would grade About Good to Good in Average Circulated.
1941 to 1954 - Typically would grade Good to Fine in Average Circulated
1955 to present - Typically would grade Fine to Almost Uncirculated in Average Circulated."
