4. Worst: NH, Miss. Best: Nevada, Colorado, Alaska
5. No
6. Very few

Speaking, about spares, nancy, I sent you a PM.

First, here is my post to Alaska Quarter topic:
Where Is The Alaska State Quarter?
I've been asking at local banks since September first, five different banks, a few times each week, but nothing. No Quarter Given!
Then last week (Sept 24), a head teller said, "the Federal Reserve ordered that quarters be given to armored cars for distribution October first."
This week => no quarters. Yesterday, OCT 3, a teller said, the Fed would not give them to Brinks 'til next week, so, try Thursday or Friday (OCT 9 or 10).
Officially, quarters are to come out every 10 weeks, and https://www.usmint.gov listed the AK Quarter in circulation (released August 25, at the Alaska State Fair the 29th). So, some questions:
Why the delay?
How can the Federal Reserve tell the USMINT what to do?
The Alaska Quarter could help Sarah Palin and if the final coin, Hawaii, is pushed into late November, would that hurt Obama who has Hawaii connections?
Businesses and collectors want the full set as gifts for the Holiday shopping season. Delaying Hawaii will hurt the USMint's sales and disappoint everyone who wants a complete State Quarter set.
OK, now why collect them? Historical value, they do have artwork related to state history. Arts & Crafts, I'm making pendants with the more attractive ones: Montana steer skull, Kansas Buffalo matched with the Indian Head Nickel, New Mexico's Zuni Sun and Texas' Lonestar. Those are the few that have large, simple designs which you can easily see on a necklace.
