Message:: [QUOTE="cladking, post: 2515218, member: 68"]I don't know but I do sense some of the later dates are less common than people percieve.  None are scarce but interest trailed off over the life of the program so casual saving dried up as well as the number of coins that went into collections.  If I had a set of these to dispose of I'd ship the high value coins and set aside a few choice rolls of later dates.  Most of the rolls I'd check for Gems and varieties and just spend the balance.  You could easily recoup your $1000 and have twenty rolls of better dates, Gems, and varieties to save in the event a better market ever developes.  These coins are common so the only thing that's going to have much impact is higher demand.  By the same token though these are young markets and nobody really knows what the tougher coins are.  I wouldn't suggest "investing" in these or any coin but if you want to collect Gems you'll find the best specimens in mint sets up until '05.  Coins after this will never be common in nice Gem.  I like the states coins a lot as a collection and as a set. They're fun and it's the one coin in circulation that has widespread interest.  Of course the public is "interested" in the bicentennial quarter but there's little real collecting of it.  There are lots of real collectors for the states, territories, and parks coins.[/QUOTE]
