I ordered a few of each of the four S mint quarters, hoping to find a 68+. Which will give me better odds, bags or rolls? Also, with a full year of production for each design, does anyone think they will become keys? Im actually considering putting a bag or two into circulation just for kicks and to keep the new generation collectors coming...thoughts?
The odds of finding a 68 or higher are seriously slim. They won't be keys unless 2012 is the only year they mint them. That statement in no way guarantees they will become keys, though. And there is a really good chance that the mint will continue these into 2013. They know a cash cow when they see one, and they WILL milk her past dry.
Great idea to throw some into circulation - I may do the same - of course, they’d be the only ATB’s in circulation around here. As for keys, they may be low mintage, but they’re still making a lot of them, so probably not worth much. If/when the satins catch on, the 2010 satin ATB’s may be the keys with the lowest mintage or there may be some very low mintage silver proofs.
