<p>[QUOTE=&quot;modernman, post: 328856, member: 11789&quot;]If you don&#039;t have lots of cash to fund this hobby then you need to be creative and patient. I&#039;m trying to finish our &#039;P&#039; and &#039;D&#039; set of statehood quarters. I refuse to pay more than a quarter for a modern quarter. By chance I visited a kids&#039; booth at a coin show with my son and saw a whole basketful of &#039;P&#039; and &#039;D&#039; statehood quarters in near BU condition that they were giving to each child visiting. Since it was an hour from the show&#039;s closing, I asked if they would exchange 40 quarters for $10. In that single visit we got at least 25 different &#039;P&#039; minted quarters in very good condition including the 2002 TN &#039;P&#039; mint. It&#039;s not easy to find near BU &#039;P&#039; mints out here in So Cal, but we were able to do it without paying a premium.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also by chance I found a bank that still had rolls of the older statehood quarters. I bought all that they had and some of the rolls are going for much more than the $10 face value. My son will be trading those rolls in the future for something else he wants. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ve seen people walk into coin shops and pay 75 cents for the current statehood quarter, or $1.75 for the current presidential dollar. Those people must truly love their hobby if they are willing to pay such a premium. I also love this hobby, but my son and I are trying to find creative ways to fund our hobby. I hope you stick with this hobby and find creative and exciting ways to collect coins that will bring you joy in owning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
