<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 800883, member: 68&quot;]I advertised through the late-&#039;80&#039;s and early &#039;90&#039;s to pay $40 for any &#039;82 or &#039;83 dated quarters in well struck gem.&nbsp; I got very little response and a lot of the ones people did ship were only AU at best.&nbsp; It looked like they sent the first one they saw in pocket change.&nbsp; There were even a few VF&#039;s.&nbsp; A few people made honest attemps and there were even a very few very gemmy coins but if anyone had these they sure weren&#039;t sending them to me.&nbsp; At the time some of these rolls were only $20 (the &#039;83-P was $30).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The &#039;82-P is probably even worse but there are lots and lots of nice sliders out there since Numismatic News started running stories of how tough these are in May of 1985.&nbsp; The &#039;82 is easier to find clean and without the chicken scratching but full strikes are a near impossibility and you&#039;ll see 10 AU&#039;s for each unc.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I put a lot of effort into finding nice coins back in &#039;82-&#039;83 and usually came up empty handed.&nbsp; I&#039;d look at bags and rolls but&nbsp; usually didn&#039;t save anything because they were bad.&nbsp; Of course now I wish I had put even more effort into it and saved a lot of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
