<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 2429271, member: 68"]None of the clad quarters are common. Well, lots of 1965's were set aside and quite a few '66's as well but people figured out by 1967 that there was simply no demand at all and the bulk of these coins were put into circulation. You can still find a '65 roll once in a while. There are a few more "common" rolls like '74-D but even this date probably had fewer than a quarter million coins saved and many of these nolonger survive. Collectors search rolls for varieties and Gems and most of the rejects go into circulation. Of course there are lots of '76's. Most people think '82 and '83 rolls are the scarcest but in reality they are among the most common. Between about 40 and 125 thousand of each coin were saved but the demand for them is high because there are no mint sets; all the demand is focused on a few sets and the rolls. </p><p> </p><p>Because so few coins were saved it means almost all the clad quarter varieties will be rare in XF and better. They simply all went into circulation even when the mintages were fairly high. </p><p> </p><p>Collectors will be in for lots of surprises when they look for clads. There will be even more surprises in store if very many people start collecting them. There's simply no depth to the supply because the coins weren't saved. Finding nice choice examples will prove tough because the coins were very poorly made for the main part.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
