<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 4863717, member: 66"]A large part of that is the fact that with the super high mintages of all the recent coinage, nearly 60 years since the end of silver, and with the exception of the quarters almost no significant design changes in the memory of the average new collector, their parents or even their grandparents, the chance of finding anything rare or a key or semi-key date in circulation is pretty much zero. This leaves pretty much the ONLY thing "good" they have a chance of finding in change or roll hunting are errors and/or varieties. If that is all you can find, that's what you concentrate on.</p><p><br /></p><p>The best thing that has come along for the "regular" collector has been the W mint quarters. But since they were announce ahead of time, and we know ahead of time when each new design is coming out, most of the W quarters get immediately stripped out of the boxes and never make it to circulation, reducing that to slim pickings as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
