Anybody Collecting Silver Proof State Quarters?

I just have a few of these Alaska Silver Quarters......they're in my several Silver Proof Sets ! ......

Just kiddin'.....I don't know if that's a good price or not John, for the PR69, but it seems a tad high to me.

I agree on the low mintages of the terrirorials.

The only Silver proofs I have are the FL ones, I picked up a few at about $4 each.

I was given a complete set of the State Quarters in silver. I've only opened it to look at it once. Its put away.

On the 2008 Alaska PR69, I Paid $18.50 for the PF70. With ebay Patience is a virtue. I will be posting the results of my efforts to build the NGC PF 70 set as soon as time permits..

Yes, I have three complete sets. All in Proof Sets though. I have seen a few in bulk bins but they were pretty badly beaten up. I always wonder how a silver proof coin finds it's way to those bins; it's not like a quarter will buy a soda any more. If it's in good shape, high retail of a PF63 is around 20 bucks. Even if it looks and feels circulated now I'd still hang on to it if I were you.

Here are a few pic's of my loose silver proofs.

The silver proof coins all have fairly low mintages. Most of these coins are broken out and put in dansco books. 50 years from now the ones that have been carefully protected will be worth a good premium because most will have been tarnished and scratched from being in books.

I love these coins for two reasons. The first is obviously because they are silver and of low mintage. The second is because I have always enjoyed most of the State Quarter patterns. They are just pretty, especially when stamped in silver. Sincerely, John Leckrone

I agree with Mr Leckron (925dealer)

Sliver proof quarters in the future will be very collectibles coins in the future.
There is being a correction in a couple of the sets (1999 and 2001, will be a good thing to watch for when they level off.

The past couple weeks I have been looking for silver proof quarters, are in OGP holders or boxes that are scratched or torn. I have picked up 5 different years for $10.00, that's 5 silver proof coins, for $2.00 each. ( I know buying them for less than silver. ) At the coin show today I also picked up two half proof sets, cent/nickel/dime/half/sac, for $5.00. That is with a silver proof half and dime.

I have been getting so many silver proof quarters at good prices .. I may have to start another State Quarter Dansco with P,D,S,S. Just have to find a good deal on the 1999 and 2001.

I have put together 3 complete P/D & Clad/Silver Sets in Dansco's for my nephews. Fun, but time consuming (200 coins). Funny though...these are going for between 600-800 on ebay. Who would have thought 12 years ago...?
As a side bar, I got so burned out on the Statehood .25, I had no desire to collect the District or Parks 25c.
