My dad said always if you ain't got nothing nice to say don't say it at all a little wisdom to all

 

I think a lot of collectors will be surprised how few of some of the later coins were saved as the interest in the states coins decreased. There are a lot of collections out there that lack the later pieces altogether and have poor or worn specimens. It's way too early to just write off the entire set as very common.

Don't forget that there are also the '05 and later SF coins and the extra leaf WI Denver issues that almost no one has. Many states collectors were not aware of both the proofs and the silver proofs. There are special issues and release issues to collect as well. Ephemera freom the series exists such as the mint issued states spoons. There are a lot of directions that the millions of collectors of these coins can go so long as the hobby tries to embrace them as they filter back in over the decades.

 

Very true

 

Actually I have one on Wisconsin with an extra leaf low

 

Give me me your phone number I'll send you a pick of it does your phone have zoom

 

Matty, please do not ask/give phones numbers in the open forum, netbots will grab them and sell to phone scammers.

 

Oh I didn't know that but um I cant upload photos from my android tablet from my images and this site always kicks me off when try clicking on my file

 

My coin is the Wisconsin Denver mint extra leaf low

 

All my state quarters are rare all the ones they on Google rare state quarters I got mine from real dealer uncirculated coins

 

The mint produced over 43 billion state quarters, the lowest mintage one was the OK quarter which had a mintage of 416 million. All of these were uncirculated at one time, and hundreds of millions still are. Nothing rare about them save for a few minor die varieties.

 

@matty 440 : welcome to CT. There are many knowledgeable collectors on this site. Please understand that it's almost a weekly occurance when a new member starts claiming his coin is rare.

With all due respect, the state quarter series is not rare. The proofs aren't rare, nor are the silver proofs.

Please collect what you like and enjoy them. Also, spend some time learning the series you like so you can acquire nice coins at fair prices.

 

Then why does www.Google.com say they are rare

 

And my mom and dad told me they are uncirculated cause back when I didn't care about them I threw my whole board in garbage and cleaned the board and re put knew ones in the board

 

Fair enough, but please understand that it works both ways, Matty. "Nice" is in the eyes of the beholder, so while you may think it's perfectly fine to spread misinformation implied as fact, I, and certainly others here as well, do not. In my most humble opinion, and regardless of intent, it is "mean" for you to keep making rarity and value claims about items you seem to know very little about. Someone so well known in this hobby should certainly know better.

Now, welcome to the forum, Matty... I hope you stick around and take away something good from the time you spend here.

 

Matty, the use of the term "rare" is quite different and separate from the words "valuable , desired, hard to obtain, etc." . Rare means distinctive, uncommon, infrequent, thinly distributed, and similar. So yes since there were tremendous number of normal mint issued and just a tiny fraction of those have been gold plated , they are "rare" ~ uncommon, but not valuable, desired ( except for a few), etc. The coins generally found in a coin shop " RARE COINS ,bought and sold" would deal in coins that are uncommon from pocket type, but many would not qualify as valuable, hard to obtain, etc. Since you and your family assembled the set, it is "rare" and of tremendous value to you in the future, value it as family , not as coins.

 

Where to begin? Gold plated quarters were never offered by the U.S. Mint. They are only offered as novelites by companies that put a very thin layer of gold on the coin. So in the Numismatic sense, the coins "don't exist". You'll never see any major Numismatic price guide list gold plated quarter pricing. You won't find them at NGC, PCGS, CDN, Coin World, etc...

You can find advertisements in many newspapers, magazines, etc...trying to claim that Buffalo nickels are rare. They are not. You can find them all day long if you know where to look. Most U.S. coin series only offer condition rarities.

If you'd like me to read an article about gold plated state quarters being rare, I'd be more than happy to, but please post a link to the exact article, not the generic google search page.

Here is a link to state quarter mintages. You can see they've been minted in such high numbers that they can't be considered rare.

http://www.statequarterguide.com/mintages/

The lowest mintage is the Iowa Philly mint at 213,800,000.
The lowest mintage DC and US Territory coin is the Northern Mariana Islands from Philly at 35,200,000.

 

What about the gold plated road island coin is it not rare stupid question

 

Nice...finally found a use for the ignore user feature. Works wonders!!!
