When will the lower mintages stop? I’m tired of buying extra rolls of each new ATB quarter in order to hopefully acquire extras of the lowest mintage one. So, what do you think? Will Chaco be the lowest at 22M each for Denver & Philly or will new issues be even lower?
I don't know, it's already tough to find the 2009 Territories in circulation at almost double that mintage. So what happens if/when the mint starts making 100's of millions of future issues that circulate, causing the series to catch on?
Since the Mint produced what was usually what is produced in 25 years in only 10 years (state quarters), there is definitely going to be too many coins, and that has lasted almost 10 years now, but especially nowadays, as hoarded coins start to reappear. Also, the series receives very little attention, so most people don't know they even exist. Because of the crazy mintages of state quarters, I expect mintages to drop during 2012 and 2013, but will rebound when demand for new coins is there. The Denali and Hawaii NP quarters are the ones to watch, as they either will follow the Chickasaw NP quarter's abnormally high mintage or follow the Chaco Culture NP quarter's record-low mintages, or be more like the 2010 NP quarters
So, where do you all think the NP quarter are, as they’re not in circulation around here. Are they sitting in the fed reserve waiting to be put into circulation behind older quarters (as I read, I think in CW). Or, have the mintages been low enough that they’ve been grab up by collectors and marketers or ……..?
I don't know, I have seen about 25 Yellowstone quarters....only one each of only four of the other designs
