[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 1575340, member: 4626"]I'm just filling up an album with them. I used to just get a roll's worth from the Denver Mint gift shop (at face value), pick out the best one I can find for the album, sell a few to my parents and anyone else who wanted them, and spent the rest. I'm still keeping up with the series; the mint's online store never really runs out quickly (quite a few 2011 dollars are still for sale) so I do the same thing, buy a roll of the Denver ones, pick out one for the album, sell or spend the rest to recoup the costs at least partially. I just want to keep up with the set and fill the album. Getting basically a refund for the face value (by spending the extras) and combining shipments of stuff I was buying from the mint anyway means each coin I keep costs about what it would to get them individually anyway. (This is basically what I do with Kennedy halves every year too.) I'm a coin collector. I collect coins. I couldn't care less what they'll ever be worth because almost nothing I own will be sold in my lifetime anyway. To be honest I'm a lot more interested in the National Park quarters anyway. Love some of the designs. Hawaii was especially impressive; love all the lava detail, makes for a very dynamic design.[/QUOTE]
