<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 1636272, member: 4626&quot;]Or you&#039;re drastically <i>over</i>estimating it.&nbsp; It could be that the ATB series will be <i>less</i> popular than the state quarters.&nbsp; When the state quarters were running, tons of people who didn&#039;t even consider themselves coin collectors knew about them and were saving them.&nbsp; Now most people I meet just don&#039;t care anymore or even know about the ATB quarters.&nbsp; The rotating reverses were a novelty in 1999.&nbsp; 14 years later people have got used to the idea and they&#039;re just not a novelty anymore.&nbsp; I just don&#039;t see an S being on the front bringing that much a premium long term, not when there&#039;s millions of them out there, and only distributed through direct sales to collectors, the only people likely to care (there&#039;s just not that much potential growth when the only people who want them already have them).</p><p><br /></p><p>They&#039;d have to double in value for you to even break even on them.&nbsp; Maybe the fad will let you cash out if you don&#039;t wait too long.&nbsp; But in the long term I can&#039;t see these ever becoming hugely valuable.&nbsp; I honestly think if anything, future demand will be <i>less</i> than it is right now, not more.&nbsp; It&#039;s already happened to the state quarters.&nbsp; Happened to the bicentennials too.&nbsp; How valuable are those now, almost 40 years later?&nbsp; Buy them if you like but it seems like a sucker&#039;s bet to me.&nbsp; Several people I know have used the &quot;small gamble for a potential big payoff&quot; reasoning to justify buying lottery tickets.&nbsp; None of them are millionaires.&nbsp; &quot;Small gamble for a potential big payoff&quot; isn&#039;t an investment strategy; it&#039;s just wishful thinking.&nbsp; Current hype is not a good indicator of future demand (in fact it&#039;s usually a good indicator that the demand will go down when the hype fades away).</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. I&#039;ve already found some S-minted business strike ATB quarters <i>in circulation</i>.&nbsp; Seems some collectors are giving up on them already lol...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
