State Quarters

This is another question that gets asked often on CCF.
You will see members that don't care for them and members that love them.

Let me try to answer why I feel there is future value in State Quarters.

IMO - It will be a series that will be collected for generations to come, so there will be a collectors base.

The trick is to cherry pick mint/BU rolls to find the very best grades. I do think circulated grade will have little value.

Check out the prices in this link for early State Quarters (1999 - 2004) in grades MS66/MS67. Early quarters are hard to find in upper grades, I find/cherry pick the better ones in mint sets.

Also there are the Silver proof State Quarters that are really nice looking. The 1999 and 2008 silver sets have pretty good value now .. maybe more in the future.

Of course there is the 2004 D Wisconsin extra leaf quarters (high and low leaf) I plan on picking some of these up ... as a goal for the coming year.

When I see slabbed State Quarters .. selling cheap I pick those up. I have seen business strike quarters come back with a proof like grade.

Then there are years that have Satin finish quarters. As these become more popular, collectors will see that satin finish quarters have a low mintage, compared to other "P" and "D" mint quarters.

There is value in State Quarters, just find the very best ones to put into your collection.

Keep it long enough it will be scarce. Actually an uncirculated set will be nice to have years down the road. Many coins are being ruined as we speak. But Time will Tell and not in our lifetimes.

Saw an ad on Craigslist this morning for unopened $25 State Quarter Mint Bags for $50 each.
Sorry, can't see it now or any time in the near future........
