<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 91649, member: 4552"]Hope it was all done for the fun of coin collecting and not for some possible future investment. This state quarter and new nickel stuff reminds me of the great Bi-Centenial coin craze of the middle 70's. Everyone I knew went nuts trying to collect all that were made. One friend saved thousands of dollars worth. Since there were so many made and so many people saved them in uncirc conditions, there present value is not much more than face value. That friend of mine tried to sell his massive amount at coin shows and hobby shops and ended up taking them to a bank where he could at least collect interest. Same with me. Coin collecting is a great hobby but all should remeber when the Mint makes hundreds of millions or billions of a coin and so many people have them in MS conditions, it will take hundreds of years to be worth anything. Maybe I'm wrong so I'll recheck this subject in a few hundred years to verify.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
