April - hmm, I may do the 2 roll thing.......still haven't decided. Probably easier to do that and sell/trade what I don't need.

The "Two Roll Sets" for the Quarters will be $32.95 each though ! ....  ... PLUS Shipping and Handling each time ! So, You'd have to pay $37.00 per two roll set every three months for two $10.00 rolls ! YEEEK !! No way do I want to do that for the entire length of the 10 year program ! (and it may extend beyond the ten years with the law as it's written) Though I agree, yes, it will be difficult to acquire the P and the D from circulation in BU condition every time for the duration of the program. And since banks WON'T be carrying these in rolls like the State Qtrs.......a nice complete Set of these will be harder to have I suppose, for most folks. But that's still a lot of premium to be paying initially, at the beginning, and all the way through, before one even knows what they'll be worth at the end, 10 years from now. Nice MS grades will be keepers of the whole series though.....that's for sure I may get the "Silver Round Version" of only a few that I like....but I won't be trying to collect the entire Set of these.

I have mixed feelings on this program. I just can't see paying that much for the 2-roll sets from the mint. But on the other hand these will be tough to find in mint state in circulation. I really would have preferred a new final design for these instead of more commemoratives.

That is alot to pay for the two roll sets......and its more than every three months, as they are releasing 5 p/year!
Holy smokes - nearly $200 a year for 10 rolls of quarters.
Hmmmm - maybe the fresh out of circulation ones won't be too bad after all. LOL.

Yeah, it's just too much money for far too long to do it !
But I thought that I would "maybe" get like the Yellowstone two roll Set ......and just a couple of my personal favorites throughout the program. But, I will not be a "roll collector" for THIS series !

It'll be interesting to see the mintage #'s since they are doing so much in a year. The Lincoln mintage numbers and Pres Dollar #s have dropped off, as have many things at the mint.
I'd guess the first couple of parks will be overminted, and they'll adjust downwards from there. They may even try to predict which ones won't be big sellers, thereby creating some harder to find rolls.

Yes the two roll sets will cost allot to get them all. So no banks will be getting rolls of these? If that is the case then maybe you could sell your extra from the rolls but with postage and mailing would be allot of work for 10 years. I think I will stick to getting mine in an extra uncirculated coin set I then also get my Kennedy half I need and all the other coins minted for the year. I also am thinking of maybe getting all the 3 ounce coins if they are sold at spot from bullion dealers if not the heck with these also.

Brucec......Quote:I think I will stick to getting mine in an extra uncirculated coin set I then also get my Kennedy half I need and all the other coins minted for the year. Ahhhhh.....but keep in mind that these "Uncirculated Sets" contain the special "Satin Finish" coins, which are DIFFERENT than the regular business strikes.

I'm not sure I understand why people have an issue putting satin finish coins in an album. Don't many people populate their albums from mint sets?

There is no "problem" with putting "Satin Finish" in the albums at all.....it's just the "issue" of having a Satin Finish in the hole istead of a regular business strike coin. In actuality..one should have "both" versions in their albums. And that's really the subject. Putting a SF coin into a reg. biz. strike hole. Many folks will put their Satins in a biz. strike hole and not care one way or the other....and that's fine, but this is the "issue".....it being technically and numismatically a "different coin".

For the America the Beautiful set, I'm thinking of just doing the proofs. I like the frosty look of the proof State Quarters. But as was said earlier, it will depend on the look of the coins.

I never really collected the State Quarters, I have 2 silver proof sets of every year, until recently I began watching/ purchasing the pf70 silvers. In a NGC holders the coins are much easier to appreciate than in the mint sets. I have quite a few pf70 states in silver..They seem to be going up in price rather quickly. The silvers are much more pleasing to the eye than satin or clad... I think the mint is diluting the brand by keeping going with national parks.

Quote: ....it being technically and numismatically a "different coin". That is correct. Satin Finish mint set coins are not the same as regular business strike coins. They are almost as different from the business strikes as the proofs are. Mint set coins used to be pulled from the same production as the business strikes, and for that reason they were considered the same thing. However, the satin finish coins use different planchets and are produced on difference presses. They should not be considered the same as business strikes.

Quote: So no banks will be getting rolls of these? No they WILL be getting rolls of them, but there is no way to know WHEN they will get them or WHICH ones any particular bank will get. With the State Quarters the bank could specifically request boxes of the latest one when they came out. With the parks quarter they can't make specific requests and they will get whatever the Fed has on hand. So whether a bank happens to get a box of new parks quarters will just be a matter of luck.
