[QUOTE="cladking, post: 3020389, member: 68"]Actually that's quite OK. Many of us got into this for pure financial gain and stuck around because it was so much fun. Some of us have made a lot of money, too. There are simply many dozens of potentially valuable coins for each denomination. I'll provide a few of the quarters to get you started. Watch for nice lustrous '82 and '83 issues. There are '71-D and '72-D quarters with a little wder space between the E and S of "STATES". Watch for double die reverses on these as well.
