[QUOTE="jhc, post: 712174, member: 20579"]I collect them because I collect all modern circulating coins. I've got the complete silvers, clads and UC's because of the yearly sets. Not gonna slab em, but I am glad I have them, some of the silvers are beautiful, well struck coins. The terrain relief maps of Texas, New York and New Mexico are really amazing under magnification. The Montana skull and the simplicity of the Delaware/Wyoming works for me. I especially like the tree on the back of the Connecticut, it glows on a well struck coin. I think they will be the introductory sets for the hobby for a long time to come. More kids will begin with these than with Lincolns over time. Most will never become serious collectors but some of them will. 50 years from now, people will be nostalgic for that first set of SQ's they started when they were 8 years old. Investment potential? Not much if any. Interest potential? Show some kids a complete set and see for yourself. Give a kid one he needs for his cheap push in set and you will see the simple joys of coin collecting. Its good to be reminded of it from time to time. Just my humble .02[/QUOTE]
