YoungCoiner New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 08/02/2011 01:47 am I agree they will never be a coin that is a big ticket/profitable coin, but I still hang on to the few I find in circulation or if I come across one roll searching. I am sure if I get a huge hoard of them I will reconsider, but only having about 50 of them doesn't concern me. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 08/02/2011 08:21 am I've told this story before. Back in the late 70's myself and a friend had sort of a contest to see who could accumulate the most of those. After about 30 years of that, he had a few thousand dollars worth and I had close to a thousand dollars worth myself. He won. We went to several coin shows and asked all the dealers if they wanted to buy some or all. Almost all said NO. One dealer said $0.24 each as sort of his way of saying NO. All ended up in a bank. Would rather have had the interest from the bank for all those years. Now every time I get one in change I growl at it. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 188594 Posts	Posted 08/02/2011 11:52 am My wife always keep them when she finds them and I tend to hold on to them for a while before I reintroduce them into circulation. I know they are not worth a lot (being that so many were minted), but I fondly remember the bicentennial celebration as a kid (I was in grade school) and seeing the quarters when they came out (but oddly enough, I did not see my first bicentennial half dollar or dollar until about three years later).

John Bonzo Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 08/02/2011 2:20 pm I used to save them but recently stopped and deposited them. I do like them a lot, but I have a few proofs so that is good enough for me. Report this Post to the Staff

"just ask just carl if you should save them or not". lol. by the way, that story is what got me to throw all of my bicentennials back to the wild. I only had a few. Report this Post to the Staff
collectorplay Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 08/03/2011 08:55 am Just a few months before he passed away, my grandfather gave me his entire (humble) coin collection in 2 "Lord Clinton" cigar boxes. Included in them were 2 mint rolls of Bicentennial quarters, in the orange and white "1776-1976" paper. So who do you imagine I still think about 18 years later when I see a Bicentennial quarter in my change? Report this Post to the Staff
