    In my house Gravy is classified as a beverage.

    Ya know, it seems like everyone is making a big deal over each of the new designs on quarters as they come out, but does anyone think that in the future, the original design (with eagle on the reverse) will become valuable? I've been keeping those that are in good condition every since they first changed the design, hoping my granddaughter might have something of value when she inherits them. After all, only the Chinese will be minting them now. LOL

    I think people are just happy to complete their sets. After all, it is the last year they are making America the Beautiful quarters...

    I would like to see the new Delaware Crossing be the yearly design and then let the mint do whatever "series" they want. It would be nice to have a nice consistent design again plus the added "fun" of tracking down all the other coins in the whatever series they think of next. Just my 25c :)

    I am like you @Mountain Man. I remember the excitement of finding wheat cents in the 1960's and 1970's. But then I noticed when we changed to the shield design, nobody ever got excited about finding memorial cents. I rather suspect the original reverse quarter design will be about the same. Still though, I will be throwing every old design quarter I have in my quarter box. Lord, I am such a hoarder.

    I couldn't see myself keeping every eagle back quarter like I keep every wheat cent. Too much $$ overall for something that won't ever be worth more than face in my or my kids' lifetime probably.

    But even at face value, they would have some serious change and think of the fun they would have spending them. LOL

    Maybe one day I will roll up the boxes of eagle back and Bicentennial quarters just to see how much I have thrown in those boxes over the years. I won't dare move the boxes. The bottoms would fall out and I might need another back surgery.

    Make them feel the pain of lugging thousands and thousands of quarters to the bank to cash out. :p
    Assuming we will even have physical currency by then lol.

    scottishmoney Buh bye

    The problem with saving the eagle back quarters is that usually they are not in great shape - especially stuff from the 1960s or 1970s. A couple of years ago I got a 1965 in change somewhere and it looked pretty good for it's age and I kept it - but that is the exception and not the rule.

    Nothing to be sorry about. I love a good gravy but I still wouldn’t move for it. If you know what I mean.

    I'm thinking that in the 1960s cents just mattered more. Fifty years later, cents are an encumbrance and an annoyance. And that's without even getting into the whole zinc-rot business.
