Supposedly because of the economic conditions at the time, these quarters were released into circulation and they heavily circulated. Since they were not great strikes, few were saved or kept. It seemed like it would not be worth saving the ones that were appearing in change. No mint sets that year. And people did not appreciate saving relatively weak quarters. I think by the time they realized it, most had been 'gone' from good possibilities. Just like any other year or years where none were saved (predominantly) and the opposite of the years many were saved... which devalues them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
