[QUOTE="clembo, post: 561889, member: 8033"]For starters anyone that knows me also realizes that I'm NOT big on the modern stuff. The whole quarter program falls into that category as far as I'm concerned. What's a low mintage in the series anyway? Less than 250 million? That's way high IMHO. So what's with the Puerto Rico quarters you might ask. Hearing some buzz that the mint has already finished production and they were just slated for realease March 30. Some coin dealers (including my boss) are keeping an eye on this. Should it turn out to be a low (by "modern" standards) quarter I may actually procure a roll or two. 2009 has been an odd year for both dealers and collectors to this point. We are able to get the Washington D.C, Native American or Presidential Dollars but seems we have an awful time locating both P and D mint. It's not just happening in our shop but all over. We always trade with one another but it seems we all have the same stuff. None of us has what the other guy wants and when they do the premiums are silly. I'm not suggesting that people dump too much money into these types of coins by any means. For all we know the Feds could dump tons of it on the market unanounced. The mint could sell them at face to stimulate circulation. What I AM saying is keep your eyes and ears open. As little respect as I have for this stuff there may actually be some worth holding on to. clembo[/QUOTE]
