[QUOTE="mynamespat, post: 3051745, member: 83738"]Quarters get worked hard- change given, vending machines, etc . Thus circulating quarters tend to get destroyed. It's extremely difficult to find quarters from circulation older than 5-10 years old that haven't been thru the wringer. Besides, there are very few dates that aren't readily available in high grades. If I want to spend some money, I can very easily obtain very nice (or avg nice) looking coins at very cheap prices for many dates. If I want to gamble, I can go buy most date's mint sets at relatively little mark-up over the coin's face value. Don't get me wrong- I still pull nice looking quarters when I see them.
