1965-1998 Clad Quarters Share us your collection and why

It took me about 4 weeks to gather the last several dollars in pre98 quarters to fill up another jar. It seems like the quarters were avoiding me.

I use these jelly jars for my pre98s as it hold exactly $50.

Time for a new jar to be filled.


My post98 quarters go in larger containers.

The ones that I get now are mostly G to VG. Im not seeing a lot of F to XF. I have been buying from Davescollectibles some BU rolls

 

I think people are hoarding the washington quarters and preventing them from getting to us !!
lol

 

I fully understand the frustration of completing a collection, and not being able to because of the expense. I had stopped collecting back in the early 2000's because of that exact reason.

2012 or so, we were friends with an elderly lady, and she collected the State Quarters. So, working with her, and the idea of putting together something out of circulation got me going again.

Something you might like to put together is a collection of beat up/cull/extremely worn coins--we have start and stop dates. As I come across an 'ugly' clad quarter, I can down grade; really fun because it is all so obtainable out of circulation. I can see two collections (or more) put together by category: worn, PM damage, corrosion from a fountain, etc...

Of course this doesn't have to be limited to the first quarter clads, there is another stop and start date set still in circulation, the State Quarters, and they are getting older and older by the second; and we are almost at the end of the current America the Beautiful Quarter collection.

A complete collection out of circulation, something our ancestors could do--WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK...

Have fun, Robert.

 

I don't have a "collection".
I just hoard change and separate some in general categories, such as:

• ammo boxes full of nickels and dimes (no separation)
• pre98 and post98 quarters
• cents separated by decade
• Half Dollars
• Presidential Dollars

I don't search them for errors, or use in a album, or anything.
I just hoard them for no particular reason.

 

I have only one collection of state quarter set that I bought and that is all. The rest, I also hoard Washington and ATB quarters from the Mint only because this is the only way to get them 100% uncirculated.

 

My Washington Quarter Cull collection as of today, put together from bank rolls 7 - 8 years ago. Ever once in awhile I get something out of change...

I may have posted these pics a few years ago, if so I apologize for the oversight.

 

I bought a complete state and territory quarter set too for my kids a few years ago, but they were interested. It's somewhere ...

Got another roll of 1980D BU from Daves Collectible.

Edited: All pass for BU.

Inventory:

Uncirculated: 120
Circulated: 4,395
Total: 4,515 quarters
Goal: 6,000

Happy collecting and Merry Christmas

 

I have really come to a conclusion and have learned to only buy what provides value. I can afford to pay several thousands for a coin but I don't see that as a value buy regardless of rarities. I have learned to walk away from it and also only focus myself to my preference that show good value.

 

Roll of 1978P BU.

Edited: All inspected and passed BU grade.

Merry Christmas everyone.

 

Merry Christmas Robert. I know you are disciplined when it comes to your value minded approach but none of us will hold it against you if you ever decide to splurge! Maybe an excellent example of an MS64 32-D trending around $1300?

Those clad rolls are impressive. When you’ve dealt with Washington’s as you and I have, you can almost feel the underappreciated value in your hand.

 

Im sure I would rather buy stocks(WDC) with that money.

Merry Christmas

 

Robert,
have you seen these machines. This one was FULL of pre98 eagle quarters. I was going to play it until I read on it that it give out Tickets !! and not the quarters for winning.

I just wanted to stand there and shake the machine !! TILT, TILT, TILT

 

I'm sure you can ask the manager for some change. LOL.

 

the quarter dispensing machines were 50% eagle quarters. I took $5 worth home.

 

A month ago, I went to Shakeys and ask the girl in the game room to trade me some Washington Quarters worth $50 and I gave her a $2 tip. My collection is just getting bigger and bigger. Lately, I have been buying BU Roll coins from Daves Collectibles and will buy more.

 

Two rolls of P & D BU from Mint sets.
