<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 444484, member: 5233&quot;]Except, there are many years that aren&#039;t known for hoarding.&nbsp; It&#039;s true that the state quarters have been hoarded like there is no tomorrow...but what about quarters from the 1970s and 1980s.&nbsp; They were all produced by the half billions or so. I know that&#039;s not at the same level as the state quarter...but from a collector stand point it over saturated the market.&nbsp; That&#039;s why you can pick up a high grade quarter from those years cheap.&nbsp; I have no doubt that some were still hoarded...because that&#039;s what people do, but the hoarding was certainly done at a much lower rate...yet these coins are still common in MS.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I think hoarding does have an affect on minting.&nbsp; That&#039;s why about 1.7 billion business strike 1998 quarters were minted and in 1999 they minted 4.2 billion total combined of all 5 business strike designs (both of these are gross approximates).&nbsp; But, at 1.7 billion total...1998 quarters will never hold much of a premium either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
