<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 25171415, member: 78298&quot;]Wow nice ender on the Franklin. The US Capitol may be a commemorative? You would have to take the sticker off the obverse. Acetone soak maybe.</p><p>Dustin, as for the flash do you mean luster? When the coins are brand new they will be super shiny. As they circulate that wears off.</p><p>The proofs go through a special process and they often have mirror finishes, strong details, and&nbsp; great luster. They made regular business strike S&#039;s but they would look like any other quarter without the strong details and original mint luster. Those were not intended for circulation. They were sold in bags to collectors who would grade the very best ones, and spend the rest.</p><p>OK so I pick up 3 rolls today. (In my fruitless search for a W.) A while back I asked them what if I get a Canadian coin? They asked me if I had ever gotten one and I said no, they said I could bring it back and they would exchange it. So in the first roll all clustered near one end, first I saw something with a silver edge but it looked like a foreign and it was a 2022 Canadian. At first I figure they hustled me for a quarter as I am not bringing it back, but then I looked at it (much better looking in hand than the photo) and it is absolutely spotless on both sides. It is immaculate. It is mint state even though it came from a roll so I am keeping it. Right after that I pulled 2 more S proofs. Frederick Douglas and Theodore Roosevelt. I pulled 5 looks for a W, the second roll 4 looks for a W. The third roll was sort of a dud, only 1 look for a W. There was a Chaco Canyon, (I keep the Acadia, El Yunque and Chaco Canyons as they are the lowest mintage business strikes.) But it was so beat up I threw it back. I also found a weird New Jersey state quarter with a silver edge. OK it must be plated, but the rest of it looks completely normal. Not a wrong planchet as the weight and the patina are 100% clad. If I hit a W I will post I haven&#039;t looked at those 10 yet.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1604034[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1604035[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1604036[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
