Are bu 1982 and 83 coins worth collecting

I saw some videos on YouTube about this topic .
people were saying 1982 and 83 USA quarters and dimes were valuable because there was no proof sets made for these years.so it was meant to be a good idea to collect them for profit .Just wondering if people think this is a good idea or just youtYou rubbish. please post your comments.Thanks

There were no US Mint Sets produced in those years, Proof Sets were still in production. If this is the info you got from YouTube, then that shows you how reliable they are. There are souvenir sets out there that people are asking premium $$ for and some of them do have good quality coins in them. Condition however is everything if you're looking at the dollar value of them unless you would happen across a rarity. For the most part, they're spenders.

 

I've never seen a BU 82, 83 dime or quarter in circulation.
So yes, they are collectible.
I wouldn't over pay for an ungraded XF example on EBay that is claimed to be AU.

 

Worth buying a roll for £40 or so do you think Michael keep some and flip the rest

 

Your biggest mistake is looking to Youtube for numismatic advice.
Stick around here for the truth. We don't deal in hype.

 

Amen

 

Except that the person selling the roll has already sorted through them to pick out the ones worth keeping.

 

Ok,but can you not do videos here.i could learn quicker

 

Yeah most likely

 

£40 per roll?! No damned way! £1 is still a little steep. 50 p is a fair price.

 

That's the problem , I've only seen two rolls before and the other one was silly money £230.

 

You may not get the quality you need to flip them, at 1 pound each.

 

Oh,I was under the impression these were going to be worth more.JB coins did a video I'm sure ..

 

Are they selling rolls? Sounds like hype to me.

 

I am not a fan of JB Coins videos.

 

No he isn't .It was a video about why people should collect these coins that's all .He seemed ok ,and he wasn't the only one to be talking about this

 

With so many of these minted, I see no upside to holding them or paying that kind of money for them.

1982 10,712,525,000
1982-D 6,012,979,368
1983 7,752,355,000
1983-D 6,467,199,428

 

Look at the price for a roll of 1986-D Zincoln cents. I guess not many rolls were saved.

 

I think people were saying that coin collecting wasn't big in the 80s so not many bu coins left.with the big stock market crash and all that happened back then people tended to spend saved coins they had in jars at home.seemed logical to me but i just took it to be true

 

they say that of each decade as time goes on.

Easy to say people 30+ years ago didn't do something, unless you were a coin collector back then. Coin and Stamp collecting was probably "bigger" in a sense back then.

It was totally different though as the internet didn't exist. And Mail Order was just creeping in. With the internet coin collecting is just a click away but there's so much junk now too.
