Not a huge budget but could get 1 maybe 2 a week depending on the state. The jersey one is the only one that seems to be real expensive so far

Basebal21 find yourself a good bullion dealer. Mine regularly scrap Silver Mint Sets and will generally sell you the coins at a small premium over melt...since that is what they are about to sell them for anyway.
I bought my complete set of modern silver proof quarters for ~$4.50 each. He wasn't a coin dealer he didn't care about dates or rarity. And before you ask he takes the non-silver coins and puts them in his till...or did till he started to save them for me. I give him tubes to fill up and when he fills them he sells them to me for twice face. One dollar for a tube/roll of proof cents and $5 for a tube/roll of proof nickels.

jmk thats a nice deal you have worked out there. I've already got most of the mint silver sets so I have the raw covered. Right now I'm working on a perfect 70 set with the flag labels. I did end up going with the silver and may do a clad in the future

I think most replys missed part of your Selection. I would not buy into the Flag labels, PCGS Grade 70 will make a Great Collection. Forget First Strike-First Label or Flags, might as well shop on the Home Shopping Network-just my opinion

Gold I think a lot of the replys did miss that. I'm not getting the flag labels for any added value and really cant stand first strike unless its the same price, but I really like the flag label look. Unlike the first strike labels the flag labels seem to be easy to find and on ebay at least they are carrying no real premium over their non flag label counter parts. |

I am far from a slab collector so I'd say no on slabbed coins of any kind. I collect coins, not plastic. And as to those State Quarters. I too collect them but only because I collect them. I see no future in a profit for those in the next thousand years. Slight exageration but a few hundred anyway. If in an Album, all reverses facing front, they are a bit impressive, educational and just nice to look at. A great gift for someone's grandkids too. |

I collect coins, not plastic. I collect coins too. If I only collected slabs I would buy empty ones. I hate this saying so much. People that collect slabbed coins are just as much a coin collector as anyone else. But yes I am getting them basically because I want too and like what they represent. My only concern would have been if there was a consensus that either of the sets would have had a large price swing one way or the other and if a downward one would have waited it out longer to see if it happens. I do think its a neat set and something cool to show future generations regardless of if it appreciates in value at all. At the very least they should be able to sell it for decent money if they chose too. |

The flag labels are cool, I wouldn't knock them if someone enjoys collecting them. I've built 5 silver sets including the territories since 2010 from loose coins bought at melt for the most part. The '99 and '01 qtrs are the most expensive, everything else can be had at melt. 2 sets are in Dansco date only albums, the other three are in Air-Tites in tubes. I liked the State Quarters so much I started buying the silver ATBs in half roll quantities. |

Bizy thanks, I agree too no need to knock someone for what they enjoy. Great deal on the quarters by the way. I had some washington commem halves Id been saving up as part of my silver stash, the silver State Quarters seem like a great way to go as well. Ill have to pick some of those up to fill a few air tites my self. Any recommendations on where to get them? |

Coin lol I wish that would be possible. I may be adding a few more over the next few days as it seems a couple people are selling off their collections at a discount compared to other listings at the moment and its hard to pass up the real good deals, but unfortunately this rate is not sustainable for me at the time
