<p>[QUOTE="tracy5900, post: 91536, member: 4560"]i bought 7 plastic case (harris & co.) 5 hole for statehood quarter year set. the same case that the u.s. mint use except the harris's one can be open and close as you wish. so i change some quarter rolls from a bank. and start to do it by myself. first i have to choose a nice coin for each year that have been issued. and put it inside the plastic case. so i got seven case filled. from 1999 to 2005. then i do the next thing. i bought 20 roll of westward nickels dated 2004 to 2005. and i got also the clear round tube. since it is better to see those coins and prevent it from tone or dark. i transfered all 20 roll to those tubes. i have to wear hand gloves and carefully examine, take time to transfer it and safe keeping it. all in all. i spent almost four hours to do all that. wow, is that worth something?. i mean four hours, if i just do the overtime from my work. that's $120.00. and these things only cost $102.05. 7 plastic case cost $17.50. $8.75 for 35 statehood quarters at face value. $5.80 for 20 clear round tube. $70.00 for 20 roll of westward journey nickels. total $102.05. tell us how your experience too and way to minuimize time, effort and money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
