<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 3168759, member: 15588"]BILLIONS of state quarters were minted. Literally billions. Sand grains are probably more rare in some parts of the world. On top of that, a lot of people saved them, thinking that they will rise in value. So plenty of top condition readily available state quarters still exist. After the series completed prices really tumbled. The 1999-s silver proof set once sold for $300 or more, now the Red Book lists it at $110 (which sounds overinflated). Anything that exists in easily obtainable billions will likely never attain great value. For perspective, one can still easily purchase a decent (though admittedly not completely fabulous) 1,000 - 2,000 year old common Roman coin for $20 - $50. That's after hundreds of years and the collapse of the empire. And they were never minted in the billions. So, yes, momentum on the State Quarters has definitely fizzled. Many people collected them all and kept them or just spent them once they found all of the states. It was fun while it lasted, but I don't think we'll see anything like that in circulation again for quite some time, if ever.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
