    Hi VKurtB, if you are ever out here in Temecula, CA, I will buy you a bottle of your favorite wine! Temecula has a wine country and the Wilson Winery Almond Champagne is so good!

    Great posts everyone. Could there be more value added to the 65-98 Washington eagle quarters now? I just submitted a 65 for grading.

    I'm not going to live another century. They would be great holiday gifts for the kids.

    I got some brand new MS grade 2020 Nickels today in change. They are beautiful, full steps, etc. I may send them in for grading just to preserve them.

    If Biden wins the election, I wonder who will the new Director of theTreasury? I really liked Mnuchin until recently, but it looks like he will go to prison if Trump loses.

    Send the quarters to Great Collections and I may bid on them IF they grade at MS64 or higher.

    My own experience with Great Collections has been top notch.

    Nice quarter! I graduated from high school in 1976, so I am hunting for these myself. Hard to find in the wild in MS grade.
  9. Modwriter
    There are multiple scratches on the obverse and a huge dent on Washington's forehead. I would not send it in. IMO it may grade lower than MS66.
  10. Modwriter
    This quarter has value if graded at MS66 or better.

    A conspiracy theorist perhaps? I have heard a lot of doosies in the last few years. Instead of gift cards, stores should sell their own silver and gold coins. I would buy food and drug coins.

    I lost 2 loupes after getting sick five years ago. I had one of them since high school through 40 years of working in the printing industry. This new one is the best I ever owned.

    I have had this 1973-S dime since the 1980's, stiil have the receipt, in the original 2x2 stapled flip. I was looking at it with my new 10x loupe and saw all sorts of dirt and fibers. Pulled it out of the flip and it was still in MS condition. It is going in for grading ASAP.

    Speaking of slurpees, my wife wanted one yesterday. I drove to the neighborhood AM/PM picked up a couple more things. $20.16 was the total. I handed the cashier $30 and she asks me if I have 16 cents. They did not have the change, so I go out to my truck to get a quarter, come back, give her the quarter, she gets mad, dumps their change jar on the counter and gives me my nine cents change, no keepers.

    lol. Rolled them all up and took them to the bank today. 40+ years of tossing coins in a cigar box mostly gone. Went to a coin shop and bought two graded quarters. A NGC 1960 PF 68 Cameo and a PCGS 1943-D MS64. PCGS I think made a mistake. There is an S mint mark on the reverse. The coin shop and three different banks did not have any mint rolls available.

    I decided to only keep the coins that I would submit for grading. I am not a folder collector. Also only going to ask for mint rolls only at the bank.

    Ha! I did a lot of research on loupes for coin grading. I read that coin graders use a 10x loupe but will use a microscope if they suspect counterfeits. My collection has dwindled drastically. I am amazed that a coin could have so much eye appeal, then at 10x all the imperfections just pop.

    Mr. Yang was not invited to speak at the Democratic convention.

    I got my new 10x LED Loupe today. So much better than a penlight and a 4x magnifying glass. Sadly, my collection is being thinned out. I no longer have any Jefferson nickels and only three shield pennies out of close to roll of them. Roosies are next, yikes.

    The roll that I was short on was un-crimped like the one on the bottom that I got today.

    The State and Mint marks were printed on the wrappers. I dont know if a bank would keep them on the shelf for 12 and 13 years. Might have been turned in by a disinterested collector recently.

    The reverse of this quarter is in very good condition, but the obverse has scratches and rim dents.
  23. Modwriter
    This is a reject quarter that I just pulled out of a bank roll, but very similar to this edge, dull brown color.
  24. Modwriter
    That is why it caught my eye. I wonder where it would have graded at. Can't see the coin edges in a slab. The obverse and reverse had eye appeal, lustre, no major scratches, spots, and even the rims were good. I did not bother to check it with my loupe once I saw the worn edges. I found maybe five State quarters with worn edges stored in clear tubes.

    I don't want to post a picture of no ridge 65-98 Washington quarters. Lol. I still have some wrapped rolls of them I need to go through reed checking. Waiting for more coin tubes to come in the mail. I took about 5 out of a loose bunch and 3 out of my saved State quarters.
