The problem is, the mint sets don't include these coins, so I'm back to debating if this is really worth it to collect or not.

How long do you think each quarter will be on sale?

I wonder if there will be any overlap in the sale of each of these S quarters?

An initial mintage of 1.4 million for each design has been struck, although the US Mint intends to produce the coins to meet demand. As such production may be re-started within the calendar year, leading to higher mintages.

My friend purchased some today he's going to sell me some for .70 cents a piece.

Bought a bag today, along with all of my other 2012 purchases. I think I'll buy a bag of all 5, keep the best 2 of each, and then sell the rest as 5-coin sets on eBa, except for ones that are so ugly I'd feel bad selling. Hope I'm able to break even or come out slightly ahead.

I did the same thing for my couple of Kennedy halves. problem with all these sold by the roll NIFC coins- is that 95% will never be spent which means they will never be worth more than face- and who will want to spend them? I believe they will mint five to ten million of each design.

I ordered some bags, the 1st time I have ordered from the Mint in along time. I mainly look to see if I can find a error. Need to dust off the microscope in about 1 year.Came back from Vegas last April with some Lincoln Cent D- Mint, but haven't looked at them.

There was an article posted by one of our fellow members who gave me the idea of buying a couple of bags like goldnugget did and then searching the coins in a couple of passes. 1st pick out the unmarked ones and then search those to find the better of those and finally select the best of the lot on a 3rd pass and then decide which of the final selection would be worthy of sending off to have graded.

According to this selection process you should be assured of increasing your chances of getting a selection of MS70 graded coins. Anyway I figure that 2 bags out increase the selection base in order to increase the likely outcome of getting MS70 coins.
