I was getting ready to can up some of our state quarter rolls at the bank (which means put them in a can for tellers to buy to use daily) and was wondering if any of it might have enough value for me to purchase and maybe try to sell myself. Do you know if any of the rolls of state quarters would be worth enough over value to mess with?
It could be a while until it's known if any of these were overlooked. They also have to work themselves out of the pipeline a little or any shortage would be squelched with mountains of new supply. I'd be hesitant to get rid of anything from the last three or four years right away and this goes double for any well made Philly coins. I suspect there will be a few winners in this group.
I am on excellent terms with a couple of tellers at my bank (small branch of a larger bank here in town) and I went in to deposit my paycheck today and on of the tellers asked me if I wanted any full bank rolls of 50 States Quarters as someone came in earlier and unloaded about $800 of them earlier in the day. They were various states and all Denver mint marks. That reinforced something I have noticed in the past couple of months - there were a LOT of early issues that were in way too good of a condition to have been circulating for 5 to 10 years.
Some of the rolls are selling for $25 to $50 in unc, Tenn and Ga are two that come to mind. Read Susan's article on the values. http://coins.about.com/b/2009/03/29/state-quarter-values-updated.htm Hope this helps, Bill
