<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 3712318, member: 68"]I doubt it for the simple reason that most coin dealers believe moderns and clads are uncollectible. Most people believe these are so common that they'll never be collectible. A 1967 roll wholesales for $155 so few dealers would be willing to spend them even if they thought novices would be interested. Dealers don't have rolls of eagle reverse quarters in any date at all. If you don't believe it, ask them. They'll have 30 to 300 mint sets and that's about it. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is not terribly unusual to find contaminated samples over the last 50 years that people have been ignoring clad. Just this week I found a roll with "5" 1974 quarters in VF+ condition in it. The odds of this occurring randomly is very remote. I'd guess someone cleaned out all his '74 quarters below XF and I just happened to get "5". The rest of the roll was a bit unusual as well as it had only 53% states coins and a BU '76.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
