Message:: [QUOTE="Good Cents, post: 4825935, member: 100720"]They weren't all meant to be in circulation, such as proof and silver quarters. But for those quarters that were meant to be in circulation, they are all out there. I know because I've collected almost all of them from circulation. And those I haven't collected are almost all "D" quarters, and that is only because I'm on Eastern side of the country. The only quarters meant for circulation that are extremely difficult and improbable to find are the "W" quarters. Someone on "For Sale" thread here on CT is selling 47 of a recent issue of the "W" quarters for $25 each. This is very upsetting to me. The guy had to have bribed someone with access to have given him many, many boxes of brand new quarters (or worse, to have given him 50 "W" quarters straight out of the mint, having never made their way into circulation at all). That was NOT how the "W" quarters were supposed to work. It doesn't help that there are people willing to PAY that kind of money for "W" quarters. They were not supposed to be a business for people making deals under the table before they ever reach circulation. Getting a few new rolls from your friendly neighborhood bank teller is one thing. But getting enough boxes of brand new quarters to be able to find a quantity of 50 "W" quarters is something else entirely. It's upsetting to some of us who play fairly.[/QUOTE]
