I roll of uncirculated 1963 D quarters - several of the rolls that Dad had collected and labeled as BU were much higher quality than what I am seeing being sold as BU. The ones I have are almost white they are so shiny and a lot have a white thick film type residue on them especially the inner coins in the roll when you open them. They are almost akways being opened for the first time unless he labeled them as just uncirculated or mixed uncirculated if they were from different original rolls but were now grouped with other similar coins as far as grade, condition, quantity etc. He would not move them around hardly ever and there would be stashed of sealed original rolls in his military wool socks and then put in bank drawers where they would sit for decades.
so going through some of these to try and organize is dauntikng and slow. i dont want to ungroup anything or unwrap anything that shoukd not he and accidently move or worse devalue any of the coins. But trying to figure out his rationale and thought process has been fun and a little hard emotionally because I want to hold on to way too many and its slowing down my progress so I am trying to quickly sell some of the bulky ones or random ones so that I dont change my mind and start hoarding every one of them.
This roll was almost ruined. Luckily I noticed a pattern of saving Certain ones and knew that these were not just junk quarters and held a box back. I have three of these and this one is the nicest. And because several rolls were unopened and stored together and in the original paper bank roll and marked "63d uncirculated" I put them in a smaller container and as chance would have it the box that everything else was in was stolen and all they got was junk coins. As far as this roll, All are consistent but two or three on end has some minor discoloring. Transferred to plastic case for protection.
