Quarters And More Quarters!

Thanks masterofsecrets. The Caribou quarters are among my most favorite coins. I know its a personal choice, but can a complete collection be mixed with BU and PL coins? Mint roll fresh coins look great when you can find them. PL coins from the uncirculated sets looks fantastic.

I like to collect them all, I CRH about 300$ a month and route through as much pocket change as I can. I don't collect for a set album, just the best quality I can find and the varieties/errors. I also go to shops and shows looking for deals on Proof, PL and Specimen singles because I like the eye appeal of the different finishes. I have snagged full unopened rolls of 1812 and arctic/whale quarters from banks. I have unopened rolls of olympics from a connection at the post office. I of course love to find silver but haven't found one in over a year CRH.

timni44 worded it right for me. It's a mish mash of coins branched off the Caribou quarter base. The only mandate I have is my set has to have a Caribou if minted that year regardless of it being a test token or rare strike.

So far I'm just keeping the nicest one of each year and type I find in circulation. I haven't found a NCLT quarter yet, but I'm hoping to.

Thanks Silverdon and Shafta9a, I got 20 of those bobcats all the same condition in a collection of 1967 commemoratives from a friend who put them away and no longer wanted to hang onto them. I got pennies, nickels, quarters, halves and dollars from 1967. All tucked into the safety deposit box, around 100 silver coins in all.

Silverdon did you get that 2011 silver proof in circulation?

Sweet find anything silver proof, must also be nice to have someone give you a 1948 like that one, its in great shape.

I like specimen finishes, that quarter is eye catching.

Was looking at that 2011 Caribou Specimen ICCS SP-67 coin with the loupe and noticed the really sparkly frosted fields beads and legends. The linen texture to the field is also neat. I took some shots with the macro lens and they came out nice.
