Well, to fill one Dansco, the Circulating Coin Set will be 'perfect', but for "4 or 5" Danscos, yep, you best get the P&D Mint Rolls!

I am going to put my quarters in a dansco album or equivalent. I will probably buy the quarters on ebay if I can find a good deal.

The quarters are much nicer than expected, and are really outstanding in proof. Given how limited the unc mintages are: 29 mil of D and 30 of the P of the Hot Springs quarters, these will be definitely hard to find in circulation. Buying a couple of unc rolls of each release isn't a bad idea if the distribution pattern is widespread leading to a shortage of unc later. Even if the mintages are ramped up later, these first years quarters are going to be scarce and in high demand once the general public realizes there are additional quarters to collect beyond the 50 they have already. By the same token, several of the territory quarters are a good idea to put away in unc rolls, particularly the last four. The few I saw in circulation in Northern California were pretty ugly and these are supposedly "new" quarters.

i just picked up a d/p yellowstone set to put in my dansco. I must say... I think the yellowstone design is my favorite of this year. but then again I am a sucker for any design with buffalos  .

I prefer the design of Yellowstone. I buy single proofs on ebay of that. I agree the low mintage of Hot Springs, makes that an interesting first of a series, so I bought 10 mint boxes.

I'm gonna collect coins from circulation, and stack them on my desk until I get around to buying a folder for them! lol

I agree, Yellowstone is the nicest of the five. Overall, the raised rim containg all of the recessed labeling information unifies the series nicely unlike the hit or miss 50SQ program. This is going to be a fun series to collect.

I will be building a P&D folder from circulation as they come out.

Maybe I'll just collect the 5oz versions :)
Getting them in the proof set will be good enough for me. I doubt I will collect them from circulation.

Hello, I do digital work for the US Mint and for everyone here who is interested, the United States Mint is hosting a Coin Collector's Forum on Wednesday, July 28th from 6:30 to 7:30 (PT) at the Yosemite Valley Visitor's Center. United States Mint Director Ed Moy will be present to discuss the United States Mint and its coins programs, as well as answer your questions. The following day will be the Yosemite National Park Quarter event starting at 11:00 am (PT). There will be a coin exchange where visitors can pick up the newly released Yosemite National Quarter at face value.

I saw my first US mint commercial on tv this morning. Yup, nice commercial for the park quarters. Wonder if that will help or hurt the later value.....

I just put in my subscription for the circulating set of P&D quarters through the Mint. $9.95 + s/h per year. First time I've done a subscription through them. Anyone have any pointers as to what I should expect (other than my coins that is).
