$180 per roll for nice attractive coins. A pig in the poke might have some gems or you might get scratched if it's a really bad roll. If...
Yes, I agree strongly with this. There were some bad '86-D quarters so even getting MS-61's and 62's wouldn't be surprising. The bulk of the...
This isn't an especially tough roll and it is one of the best clad quarter rolls for quality since strikes were often good and it was before the...
A lot of countries use pure nickel coins and have vending machines that can identify them. Pure nickel is magnetic though and I'm sure these...
It's not that silver and clad have the exact same electrical signatures just that they are very similar. Even the coin discriminators used in...

I'd guess you have half of a 1989 mint set. It's not too unusual for these to be very proof like. The so called penny is actually just a...
