<p>[QUOTE="Lembeck13, post: 4314559, member: 47036"]I recently purchased - and yes, I may well have been drinking at the time - an OBW roll of 1963 proof Washington quarters. Everything - the contents and wrapping - appears absolutely legit. Still, I'm a bit confused. Why would a bank have a proof strike roll of - well, any coin denomination? Did banks act as Mint agents in the past? Even more surprising, these are all, at the very least, cameo exemplars. I was twelve in 1963... can anyone fill in the history for me?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
