<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 3051588, member: 17665"]Everything is collectible to the right person. But the public was not too enthusiastic in 1965 when the new clad quarters arrived because of the lack of silver. And that's why the Mint continued with the halves for a few years with 40% silver, just to placate the collectors mostly. I don't really know when the clad did become collectible again as a regular thing. The quarters kind of languished until the state series but towards the end petered out also. There was some dismay over the territories being added at the end. To be honest, I'm kind of sick of so many different quarters and I will be done when this ATB series ends. It gets old after awhile. Now, I'm just trying to top off all my sets with some missing key dates. If I live long enough I would like to pursue as best a collection as possible of Seated Liberty Dimes and maybe focus on some Seated Liberty Halves.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
