<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DEA, post: 5138982, member: 90140&quot;]I think Micky is referring to the &#039;value&#039; of 1982 quarters; specifically, mint state quarters.&nbsp; Denver issued 480,042,788 in 1982, while Philadelphia pumped out 500,931,000 in 1982.&nbsp; Those numbers are not (to me) significantly less than what Denver and Philadelphia issued a year later or a year earlier.&nbsp; However, my understanding is that few people put aside freshly minted 1982 quarters and thus those 1982 quarters, in uncirculated condition, are, relatively speaking, rare.&nbsp; If memory serves (and it often doesn&#039;t), those in the know attribute the lack of mint state 1982 quarters to the poor economic situation in 1982.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, short answer, I think if you come across any 1982 quarters in mint condition, yes, put them up.&nbsp; I would.&nbsp; But if not in uncirculated condition, even extra fine, it likely is not worth keeping more than one or two.&nbsp; On the other hand, I&#039;d keep any I find in EF or better because I&#039;m just that way.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I&#039;m way off base, Micky, sorry to have wasted your time!&nbsp; And welcome to CoinTalk!</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; David[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
