Nearly every kid in America is collecting the state quarters. But, seriously, how many here collect them too? (I do, just for the heck of it. I pull mine out of circulation though so they won't be worth much even years from now)
I also find mine in circulation. I wouldn't be too worried about circulated vs. uncirculated values, considering that at least 100 million of each date and mintmark are probably being saved. :shrug:
I collect them. I buy some of mine in rolls as soon as the bank gets them, and some come from normal circulation. I figure that they will not be worth much in the near future but one hundred years from now my Great Grandchildren may be able to make a few bucks on them? :smile
Well, they're still fun to collect, even if they won't be worth anything. I especially like having my state's quarter.
I collect the state quarters out of the circulation pool. I do not think they will be worth anything more in the future and with inflation most likely less. But I do enjoy sitting down with my boys and leafing thru the state ablum and just talking about which one is nicer, which one looks stronger, why this one has that or what part of the nation that one came from, etc.... Perhaps a long time from now you will have the same experience with your kids. Meanwhile, I think they are better then baseball cards and the lot and a lot less cheaper to obtain! I think the state quarter series was an excellent idea.
I believe that the only state quarters that will hold their value will be the silver quarters. Out side of that, there isn't much to collecting them except for the sheer pleasure of assumbling a set of coins. True coin collecting, without the profit angle making a difference.:kewl:
The one's I have are definatly going to go up in value. I've got some that are silver, some that are gold, and some that are platinum. There is a pretty good TV show called "Coin Vault" that talks about how much this set is worth and how much it is going to go up in value :goofer: :mouth: :goofer::mouth::goofer: :mouth: I sure don't collect them as an investment, but I like them a lot: There's a wide variety. It seems like I've been collecting them for years, and I still havn't completed my set. They promote some history of each state. They are my 4th most affordable US coin. When you get sick of hoarding them, you can just spend them at no loss (save for inflation). They are the only coins that my kids are interested in. They are plentiful in BU.
I still do...but not like I used to...I used to do books and rolls and mint and proof sets....now I've sold most of my mintsets...all of my proof sets..all of my rolls and rarely keep up on my books....its fun to do it! Speedy
that's the last place you ever want to buy from, and those are plated thiner than tinfoil Just fixing the quote...
Sure they are, and if you believe those guys on Coin Vault, then I have a large swinging bridge that crosses Dry Creek here in Wyoming that I'm willing to sell for only a fifth of its value. I guarantee it!
By the way Orps, your state quarter is one of my top 5 favorites. Now about this coin vault show, I wonder if they will buy back these great buy coins if given the chance?????
I started off pulling them from circulation as I found them....but after a couple hundred dollars or so I cashed in. Now I just pull the CT's as its still my favorite by far.....and I've never lived there.
I just like to go to my dealer and go through his rolls,picking out the best ones I can find.They may never be worth much but it took some time to assemble a collection this nice.
