2010-2012ish have very low mintages. People are burnt out from the State Quarter program, but if the ATB ever comes into demand, there are not enough of the early years for everyone in the country to have one. The series wasn't nearly as popular, so the % saved was probably lower as well. Right now, demand is well below supply. I imagine that they "keys" may appreciate in value on the scale of a Wheat cent or early Jefferson--well below inflation, but still gaining value nonetheless. |

I collect them, I like them, and I do not care what they are worth. I keep them because they make me happy, not because they make me rich.

If it makes you happy,keep them. One of each isn't a lot of money today. And they are physical cash money and if the computers that run our world crash, you will be the smart one. But to answer your question, an old friend of mine retired and wanted to "Cash In" his hoard of bicentennial quarters. He was disappointed. They are only worth face value. They are not rare. Just like the ATB Quarters. Half of my coin collection is made up of the annual sets issued by the US Mint. I don't anticipate making a profit and some of them are 90% silver! I just like the way they look under a magnifying glass, like small works of art. Now if you want to talk about hoarding wheat cents,... if I find them they will never see the light of day again! |

 Finding Wheats excites me too ! ---  And they're worth at least 2x face ....  I don't see any circulated ATB's or State qtrs. ever being worth 2x face even 50-100 years from now....  |

Yea ... people who collect large amounts of them ...
have to be crazy Not as many as you GR58, but I saved a P&D roll of the State & ATB Quarters, as well as rolls of JFK's and Presidential dollars. Gotta leave something for the kids to put in CoinStar machines when I go. |

Sell them in Europe, you might get a a few dollars for them, because they're hard to come by.

I bet it will take years more like decades for them to be of any small value, but I keep one set for fun. Actually I do like to see the different reverses.

Its a good first collection to have but do not anticipate they will have any serious numismatic value in your lifetime, because I highly doubt they will. They would make a nice family heirloom. With so many of them made and in circulation, and with so many people collecting them, there will be little collector demand for a very long time. But that in no way should prevent you from enjoying them.

I recommend collecting what you like. However, the ATB Quarters are prettier than the states, and less were saved. Also, 2010-12 had some low mintage issues, so a small upside could be saved. Keep them if you like them, and enjoy knowing that you have slightly better odds of making money than State Quarter hoarders (though those are fun too) |

I enjoy collecting them along with the State Quarters. I keep a P and D I find in circulation (really nice condition though) and then I get the silver proof versions for the Dansco album. Very nice in a Dansco to look at! |

I have a complete ATB collection of PDSS (silver) untll 2019 in my Dansco albums with Slipcover. I added a quarter blank page and have 2020-2023 PD except Roosevelt and the native american ballerina. The prices seem high, but, I am determined to keep this quarter collection up to date. |

I have a set in a Whitman album for not much more than face. They are pretty to look at and I can boast of having a complete set of something!

At a minimum, I have one each in BU condition in my albums. Then in my quarters change jar, there are untold amounts of them waiting to get rolled and turned in to the bank.

Sure, now that you have them, keep them. But, as others have pointed out, they're never going to be worth anything except 25 cents each--each one of them has a mintage in the hundreds of millions.
I have folders for them and I've gotten every one of them out of change, so they are cheap to collect. I still have a few empty holes (all "D" mintages), but that's part of the allure of collecting--you never know what's going to turn up in change.
