[QUOTE="cladking, post: 153355, member: 68"]I agree entirely but would add a couple points. Save anything you find that's special or that you think might be underrated. One that I'd be more inclined to keep is 1969 quarters that are attractive. Even if they are heavily worn this date is tough in nice attractive condition. These went straight into circulation unlike other pre-1972 dates so all have been in circulation longer than any other clad quarter. These were very poorly made so most have strike weakness and other problems. Another thing is don't concentrate on just high grade. Since most clads are unattractive it's often more important to look for nicely made coins with nice even wear. Certainly the less wear the better. Don't get bogged down saving a lot of the more common varieties. These will still be common in 40 years in low grade so always consider condition. Anything common now will still be at least a little common in the future. You want to focus on coins that stand out so your money goes farther.[/QUOTE]
