<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 25817105, member: 92655"]Here’s the backstory. I remember it like it was yesterday…. When the state quarter series came out there was a whole new renaissance in coin collecting. Mike Mezack saw the opportunity and had infomercials on the tube every night…. Send me ten bucks a month and you are assured to be the first to get an uncirculated and a gold plated quarter when released…. Now mind you, Mezack was plating the quarters. He got ten bucks and you got a quarter with two cents of gold plating. He was the first great mass media coin capitalist. And buddy he sold a pile of them</p><p><br /></p><p>Now with all that said, sadly a coin collector will view the gold plated quarters as damaged. Yes they are pretty but they are damaged goods. You may find some interest from a curio perspective, but they are vastly more valuable as a family keepsake given that they come from your dad.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
