I have been noticing this week the store has been getting original shrink wrapped rolls of State Quarters. The other day I had all NY quarters. Today they put in my till a roll of DE and PA quarters, both from the Denver Mint. The PA roll had a written sticker on it noting what they were. Looks like a collector cashed them in at the bank my store uses.
Collector probably put them away back when they came out. After all these year he finds they have a RETAIL value of about $11.50 a roll and wholesale is still $10. After holding them this long he would need to get at least $16 just to break even with inflation. SO they gave up and are cutting their losses.
My local coin store gives them out in change, along with prez and sac dollars. They aren't worth any more than face now. I was given a 1999 P set as change the other day and promptly broke it open and spent it. I even spend clad Ikes if I get them and they aren't a rare variety.
