[QUOTE="skinnyeddie, post: 180512, member: 6638"]My girlfriend gave me a nice set of BU state quarters she'd bought online in a Dansco album for Christmas. I wanted a set for the sake of having one, but hadn't been collecting the proofs or from general circulation, so a set of P and D uncirculated was good enough for me. I know there are tons of each coin minted, and everybody and their grandkid is collecting up a set, so their potential for value is limited.

Even with the brand new ones I have, it is sometimes hard to figure out what the design is unless the light hits it just so. If they wear pretty badly in circulation, won't it be nice to have a BU set floating around to show the grandkids. It will also be interesting to see which state designs hold up the worst over time.
