Message:: [QUOTE="statequarterguy, post: 775833, member: 21782"]High Elaine, thanks for weighing in on this thread and please update it when the final numbers are out for the Presidency.   This post is one of the reasons I like coin collecting, the lively debate/speculation over what could happen in the future.  I understand your thoughts on the Lincoln Birthplace, which was the key to the 2009 series, yet with the presidency probably coming in at around half the mintage, current prices on eBay are higher for it than the Birthplace.  Will Presidency prices hold and/or remain higher than Birthplace, out doing its status as the first of the series, we’ll see as the new year unfolds.  As for winners of the year 2009 (and 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2008) for regular circulating coins, I have to pick the satin finish coins included in mint sets, since they are a distinct variety, similar to matte proofs, and are all low mintage (lower than proofs) for modern circulating coin series.  Check out eBay activity and prices for satins, they’re hot and few sellers of past years issue, which says possibly they’re settling into collections/hoards and won’t be available at these low prices much longer. As for the DC quarter being the winner, what about the lowest mintage Mariana?  It may well be that the DC will always be more in demand than the Mariana, but some of the current DC demand is due to the possibility of finding the double dies in rolls/bags.  Since the Mariana just concluded and is the lowest of the series, I think we need to give it more time before the final verdict is rendered.
