Always good to find a 1975 bi-cen quarter

Thousands of older people habitually tossed these aside when issued and whenever encountered in circulation. Those Bi-Cen Quarter Jars are now being tossed back into circulation by heirs. An Aunt had 5 one-gallon glass jars of these.

Yep, I have  a few I tossed into the coin jar. Just got one in change at the laundromat yesterday. Lol

Most I get are pretty nice but not magnificent. Typical hoarded stuff. Just got my first Sally Ride quarter today.

Double bonus; just found a very pretty 55 & 56 proof set in OGP.

Which kind of 1955 OGP? There were two OGP’s that year.

Got 4 of these for $49 each

Not bad. I missed that the Mint is selling S-mint circulation quality Women’s quarters. S-mint circs are magnificently done on a press that was originally intended to strike proofs. It strikes them vertically.  And it runs much slower than Philly and Denver presses striking quarters, which strike horizontally.

I have been searching rolls for nice P and D samples of the new quarters but everything has bag marks nothing above a MS 63 to be found yet. Now are these S quarters silver nothing on the label that I see to indicate otherwise?

Here’s a good alternative for cheap

Only 300k struck and only available with 3 pack roll of PDS.  All five quarters are sold out for the year by Enrollments.

Those belonged to my grandfather.  I spent many weekends sorting through piles of 500 pennies with him.

That is nice to have cool memories I am sure he enjoyed the time with you..

flat pack

Cool, I “stumbled into” a flat pack at an auction after I already had two boxed 1955’s.
