<p>[QUOTE="boxerchip, post: 711888, member: 19303"]I absolutely hate EVERYTHING about them. I tried to get my nephews into coin collecting like my father did with me (starting with silver eagles, cheap, but still a worth while investment/ collectible item) and my sister ruined that by getting them into quarters, now they collect those stupid quarters that wont be worth anything any time, ever. Its quite hard to explain to an 8 year old that a 1964 REAL silver quarter is 100x better than a stupid new minted new jersey quarter but I sure am trying.... maybe one day they will thank me. On top of the insane mintage rates, putting out tons of new coins yearly, and diluting the coin collecting hobby I agree with who ever said the designs are crap too! looks like someone spent maybe 10-25 min in paint and clip art programs making the design. Even the proof quarters ive seen look like absolute crap, rather than smooth silky backgrounds like you would find on a silver eagle proof they are spotty and milky hazed. I am not impressed, not a fan, and think the mint needs to think about quality and collectors rather than making some more new money that little kids like.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
