Help me decide. Do I want a new U.S Mint uncirculated set just because of the blasted quarters?

  1. Yes, everybody wants one. $25 will seem cheap 100 years from now.

  2. No, tulip bulbs would be a better use of your money.

  4. Why not just get your quarters from pocket change like real collectors?

  5. I only collect ancients, so I defer until the set is 1500 years old.

    Thanks for all the helpful responses. As you may have noticed, there were no wrong answers. :) Still, no one checked "yes".

    After putting quarters in albums for the last 20+ years, my OCD makes it hard to ignore the new ones, but I probably will.

    Since the mint discontinued the cheap circulating sets, acquiring them in the secondary market or pocket change makes the most sense.

    Thanks for playing along!

    Unless it’s something that would sell out the secondary market makes the most sense for things like that if for no other reason than you can pick a set you like the quality of

    Heck, for $25 I can buy 1/100 of a tank of gas.

    Technically, no. I have every mint set starting from my birth year and my wife continues the tradition. So, usually every Christmas I know I'll be receiving a mint set. It is nice she wants to try to add to what she knows brings me happiness, and it is nice to have every year from my birth, so I am not going to tell her, "No, you are just wasting your money," anytime soon.
