<p>[QUOTE="silvrluvr, post: 705935, member: 4204"]I'm starting a silver proof statehood quarter collection myself. If you want to collect them and get your money's worth, I would recommend looking at every quarter in every package. If any of them have ANY haze/toning/spots, I would steer clear. If all of the coins look great to you and you feel like you would be proud to own them...then we can talk about the prices being charged and go from there. Simply my opinion. There is no shortage of these sets for sale, so you want to get the very best. I've seen the most expensive silver proof quarters, the 1999s, still in the Mint packaging, that were all hazy and gross looking. Avoid those at ANY price. Graded and slabbed MIGHT be the way to go, but they don't fit in with my collecting needs and I don't even own one. They will definitely be more expensive. I plan to display my set on the wall in the original mint holders, so slabs just won't work for me. I don't pay extra for any modern coin in a slab, ever.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
