[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 3074955, member: 27832"]Wow, I'm sorry to see people having been so grumpy on a Saturday night. :( Looks like there were at least two snipes on this auction, driving the final price up above $86. Sure, you can still find these in circulation -- but you'd be searching a [I]long[/I] time to accumulate four rolls of them, especially in higher grades; lately, the ones I see in circulation are fairly well-worn for the most part. As it happens, [I]I[/I] got four taped rolls of Bicentennial quarters from a teller years ago during the latest silver spike. She was saving "old" coins for me, so I felt obligated to take them; at face value, at least I wasn't losing money. I opened one roll, and the coins were uniformly AU or higher. The rolls really look like they were filled and taped forty years ago. I couldn't bring myself to spend them or turn them in. If there are people out there willing to pay 2x FV for rolls like this, I'll be [I]happy[/I] to let mine go, too. If I do list them, I'll try to remember to post it in the For Sale/Auctions forum here, so people can return to this thread and make fun of me as well. ;)[/QUOTE]
