<p>[QUOTE="gronnh20, post: 3414885, member: 73224"]A quick look at a PCGS price guide would indicate otherwise. San Francisco business strike ATB quarters have two options for purchase from the Mint. Either buy a bag or roll from the mint. PCGS has graded plenty of these quarters since 2012. Every year and series for this S minted coin has coins graded at MS67. Except for maybe a couple park series, every series and date, has a coin or coins graded MS68. The only place to find these MS67 and MS68 coins is from a bag or roll. </p><p><br /></p><p>Does every bag or roll contain an MS68 coin? No, of course not, MS68 coins in their own right are rare coins. Can you find MS67 coins in bags or rolls? Most definitely. I have bought bags since 2014. I have had only one bag where I didn't find a coin that would not have graded MS67. Most bags by my grading standards have 3-10 coins that will grade MS67 or higher. The MS68 coins are going to be pretty rare. I can't say I have found more than one coin per bag that would grade MS68. Finding multiple MS68 coins in a bag would be a bonanza.</p><p><br /></p><p>Would I buy the bag that was shown in the OP? No. Not because the quarters are not worthy of buying. More so because the bag does not show that it has been stored as found from the Mint's original shipping. I would purchase the bag if it looked like it had been shipped yesterday. You know why that bag of quarters has value to it? Because those quarters are not SMS. Compare prices of SMS coins to business strike coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
