<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 1256417, member: 68&quot;]Nobody has that sort of quantity.&nbsp; It cost 25 c to set aside a 1965 clad quarter and in those days a quarter was like real money.&nbsp; Even in 1972 25 c wasn&#039;t something to just make change with like it is today.&nbsp; You could get a gallon of gasoline or a hamburger for a quarter.&nbsp; I sure didn&#039;t have the kind of money to set aside large quantities.&nbsp; All of my good stuff is in safety deposit boxes.&nbsp; Most everything else I just spend or take to the bank for currency.&nbsp; I might go through a box or bag of new coins and just save a single example of each die pair if it&#039;s a bad batch.&nbsp; Sometimes with quarters I won&#039;t even save the nicest one of each die pair because it costs to set it aside and store it. </p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t have a lot of knowledge in the early days since I was just starting and in those days one had to learn stuff on his own a great deal more than now days.&nbsp; Partly this was because I was a pioneer but also because there wasn&#039;t the flood of info available from all corners like there is now.&nbsp; I missed a lot of stuff and may not have a single example of many of the most desirable coins.&nbsp; Anyone just trying to &quot;invest&quot; in clad will probably have little of interest and mostly just junk.&nbsp; Even today after decades of inflation filling up a warehouse would be prohibitively expensive.&nbsp; Those little boxes of quarters hold $500 face value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
