[QUOTE="Sam Stone, post: 4251325, member: 110020"]I was just at an estate sale when I saw this. It was still in the original box and since I have a bunch of quarters I thought it was a good idea. They wanted 50 cents for it, but I gave them a dollar because they discounted something my wife needed. The lady I paid whispered to me it already had all the quarters in it but the dollar I paid really was enough. So I get it home and I don't know what I'm seeing. A number of the quarters seem to be proof quality with no goobers I can find even with a 12x magnifying glass, some look like they're gold toned, and I don't know mints yet. My question is actually facetious. Was $1 too much to pay, or did they cheat me? I actually do have a real question. Should I remove them so I can get fingerprints, dust, etc off of them, or since some seem to be proof level do I leave them alone? If I take them out I can catalog mints before I put them back. What is the best way to legally clean quarters without hurting their values? Thanks. [ATTACH=full]1084619[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1084620[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
