surfmsm Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 i wonder what the oldest quarter someone found while vending candy machines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer980 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I have never bothered to look at them that close to see one. I suppose it would have to stand out for me to catch it. I dump them into ziplock bags at each stop then I count each bag at home after I record the results in my route book I dump them into a big pile on the kitchen counter before rolling. I don't count each one but grab four at a time to speed it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VendAndy81 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 LOL, I wish there was a quarter that was worth a million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfmsm Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 beleive or not there are, depending on quality and mintage, you would be surprised!!!! but checking out every quarter might cut into your profits regarding time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VendAndy81 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Wow I had no idea, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfmsm Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 well i spoke too soon, but i checked some prices, a complete set of quarters from 1932 till now in perfect shape will go for $265,000, the most expensive quarter i could find was a 1796 quarter for $450,000, there are coins out there though over a million, just not quarters, maybe we could get people to use old gold dollars to buy some bubble gum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VendAndy81 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Yeah, we should make a coin mechanism just for the old gold dollars, one vend and we would be good for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philo Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 As a numismatist (don't worry it's not fatal!) I have found a 1947, several from the early 60's. None were in good shape, but I keep 'em anyways. I also have a complete- or at least for 47 states- set of state quarters, both P & D, all thanks to my bulk machines. regards, Philo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-man422 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I am a coin collector, but have not found any silver in my machines yet. I enjoy looking through the quarters to try and find one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainMan Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I am not a coin collector either, well, I guess I am,, LOL. Anyway, I stack them up and look at the edge. if any look suspicious, I check the date. We keep any silver. I have not found any yet in the machines, but we have picked up a few in the food booth.

G-man422 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I stack them up and look at the edge. if any look suspicious, I check the date. Same here. It's the easiest way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidsurvz Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I haven't found any silver quarters yet. But i do keep an eye and ear (they have a very distinct "clink")to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-Son Vending Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Yeah, So do the plastic quarters I found in one of my machines last month...perfect size and thickness. They were play money for kids...found three or four of them...they make a disticnt sound too,.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpapageorgio Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 It might be easier to start looking for Canadian quarters. Their dollar is stronger than ours right now, so maybe you'll get a better return. RJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
