<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 92453, member: 68"]Most of the states issues make a much better short term speculation or collectible than a good long term hold. There may be some exception though like the matte finish, proof, silver proof, rotated reverses, high grades, extra leafs, and early issues. AU coins of DE an PA (possibly others) will have more demand since uncs aren't as common. It is much more worth the time to set aside current rolls for a year or three to try to catch the one everyone misses than to look through circulation. If you have a chance to set aside nice choice MS-64 or better issues then this is a good speculation as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>It takes years for the market to sort out the good ones from the bad ones. All the coins of an issue are never out of FED storage for about two years and usually require three years. Even after it's out of storage it takes another three years before effectively 100% of the mintage is worn. We're only just now getting to that point with the early states coins. Keep in mind though that these get a lot more attention and mmight move in and out of circulation greatly expanding the time it takes for them to wear. It has been requiring about 17 years for all of a date to be worn below AU but this will be sure to take longer with the states issues. There is greater velocity of quarters now since people are going through them again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
