As long as there are more coins for sale on Ebay than Beanie babies I'm happy. Statehood quarters are like a gateway drug. They lure new collectors in. More new collectors, will mean more serious future collectors, will mean high values for your coins. The question is, once a collector completes his or her statehood quarters, what are they most likely to collect next? Lincolns, Morgans, Washington Quarters, ....
Gotta go with Morgans, though they are not my favorite coins (OK, they are my second favorite). My step father turned me on to the Morgan dollar when I was very young. He liked cents too because he thought a copper shortage was bound to happen soon- this was in the early 1970s. Still, the Morgan impressed him the most, so it impressed me the most. I find it interesting how people define the term "collect." I have several Morgan dollars and I have several Lincoln cents, but I doubt I'll ever own one of each date, mintmark, etc., because of the cost involved. I have a Dansco album where I'm trying to put as much of a Lincoln set together as possible, but my Morgans are either slabbed or in tubes. So, does that make me a Lincoln collector and just a possessor of Morgans?
