[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 8160587, member: 105098"]Sort of.... I've given it considerable thought when they were doing the W quarters. [IMG]https://catalog.usmint.gov/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-USM-Library/default/dw8acc39fd/images/bulk-purchase-program.jpg[/IMG] says it's 2,615 ponds for quarters. it's 41.5 x 27.5 x 31 lowside by freight carrier is $770, High side is $1200. I don't know if an armored carrier is REQUIRED or not, but you'd want it insured I'm sure, so just round up to $2000 and It shouldn't exceed that. probably more like $1500-$1600. Armored carrier, probably $3-$5000, but I don't THINK that's required, I think they'd make it clear if it was a requirement. Even rounded up to $55K all in, that's about 28 cent per quarter, the websites sell them for like 70 cents to a dollar each, or as sets of ATBs for like $60, $5 rolls for like $15, $10 rolls for like $19. you'd need a way to offload the coins you don't want of course for a slight profit, but It's not necessarily a losing endeavor,,, could be errors and stuff in there also. you'd need to figure out how to offload 5000 rolls of quarters (100 boxes) after searching..... could turn the metal frame into a baby crib/playpen also when you're done, winning! I dunno, 5 people @$11K each, maybe each is out $1000 in the end if it comes up a total dud and nothing to find in there, if they can't find a way to profit slightly off the 1000 rolls/20 boxes each person would get. I wouldn't want to do this solo though and foot the entire bill and entire possible losses UNLESS I had a business that could offload all those quarters in the course of making a profit somehow.[/QUOTE]
