I have several collections of State Quarters with each collection having a different mint mark and for the same year. I also collect bicentennial quarters and I'm trying to fill a territory folder.

Thanks you for reviving this thread.
I need to update myself on some of the design and check my existing collections for missing design as they have been sitting on a back burner since the last time I posted.

It seemed like the Mint just cleared/ended all 2014-S coins for the ATB. The Smoky Mountain S-mint coin is sold out @ 1,360,780 coins, based on the number released on April 4th. Other coins has lower number but still available. Better get yours before they are sold out.

In Canada we get a lot of American coins in our change so I collect them too. State Quarters were much easier to come across than ATB. I'm missing 5 or 6 of the States but only have 3 of the ATB so far and none later than 2013. And, like others have said, I think the ATB are nicer looking than most of the State Quarters, my favourite so far is Mount Rushmore.

GR58 I can't email you directly because I'm new. I really like your storage system for quarters. Where do you get your supplies? Boxes, labels and tubes?

Wizzy1 Thanks ... I like them too  I purchased the boxes and coin tubes online from Wizard coin supply. http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/pro...orage-boxes/ From them I have purchased all the boxes from cent through dollar. If you order from them, best to order over $50.00 so you can get the $9.95 flat rate shipping. The labels I purchased at Office Depot. My wife prints them up for me on the computer.

I just bought 7 rolls of 2015-D homestead from the Bank of America here in Wa and mint fresh rolls and the ends looks very nice. I may have to open one up for good mark free ones.

I'm saving them. And, yes, they sure are harder to find than State Quarters were.

I'm all up to date except an Acadia quarter. Pretty tough to find in circulation, except Arches... I seem to find that one everywhere. Some of mine are starting to tone.

I also am saving all the territory and ATB Quarters that I come across. It's been over six years now and I still can't find a few of the territories. All are "D" mints: two Guam, one Virgin Isle, and one Mariana Island. I need two "D" Guam's because a couple of months ago I bought two "P,D,S,S-Silver" Littleton albums and suddenly needed a second set of all the 1999-2009 quarters. I never had a D-Guam for my original set; so now I need two. I've since searched through two boxes of quarters and found all of the State Quarters but the 2009's are still hiding somewhere. I just finished searching my second box today and found 11 Territory quarters total (I needed three) out of the 2,000 that I looked through. (I also found 12 1976 'drummer boys', 116 ATB's, and 5 Canadian quarters.) None of the ATB's were 2014 "D's", and of course no 2015's at all. I only keep the best grades (AU) and throw the rest into my return pile. My daughter was able to give me two ATB proofs that she got, on separate occasions, in her "tip" money from work. Otherwise I've now got 160 proofs (and counting) to buy from dealers.

Extra info for any number geeks out there: From my last box of quarters, I found 116(5.8%) were ATB's. 5(4.3%) were 2010's, 4(3.4%)were 2011's, 7(6%) were 2012's, 26(22.4%) were 2013's , and 74(63.8%) were 2014's. The 116 coins had 97(83.6%)"P's" and 19(16.4%) "D's". Not including the mint marks, I found 20 of the 25 types. 2014's: Of the 74 2014 ATB's, 8 (3 P's and 5 D's) were Smokey Mountains, 9 (8 P's and 1 D) were Shenandoah, 16 (14 P's and 2 D's) were Arches, 14 (all P's) were Sand Dunes, and 27 (all P's) were Everglades. I found it interesting that 5 of the D mintages were for the 2014 Smokey Mountains, while I only found 14 more total for the other 24 types (2010-2014). ((PS: In an earlier post, I mentioned that "None of the ATB's were 2014 "D's"." What I meant was that "there were NO 2014 D's for the two I'm still missing".)) So, I'm either 'high' for numbers, or I have serious brain problems. :)

Last week, I was at Starbucks and they gave out some fresh new Kitsachie D..... so I just exchanged $5 bill for these quarters.
Now I guess I can offer these for trade to members on the east coast....
