Sounds like you are off to a good start on your time off.
One item on your list I would like to address
Quote:4. 1999
State Quarters minus the Georgia (same reason as the 2009 Nickels
I am a big fan of
State Quarters, and have several complete sets.
But to save members from saving coins that may not have any value
over face.
Not sure what/where you came up with this information.
1999 quarters are good in the proofs and silver proofs. And
1999 P and D quarters are good to keep in high grade, in fact
according to numismedia price guide the PA D, GA P and D in
MS 67 are some of the better quarters to have.
But
IMO collecting
State Quarters from circulation .. while .. putting a set together is fun... it might be a very long time before a circulated set will be worth more than face value.
Don't fall into the trap where people will put every coin they find away just because someone told them they are worth more. I have seen
many collection with hundreds of dollars in circulated bicentennial coins,
Susan B Anthony dollars or JFK Half dollars.. then after years the collector finds out they are only worth face value.
If I was pulling
State Quarters from circulation, I would look for
high grade examples or WI's with extra leaf.
