oshelt Valued Member United States 103 Posts	Posted 04/03/2009 5:00 pm ok..just to throw some more garbage in the game.. I am a small time dealer, and I have bags of the earlier date quarters. And if that isn't bad enough, I had at least three customers who also bought and put back a bag of each quarter. And I know at least six dealers who have numerous rolls of the early dates. All of the people that I have talked to that have indicated that they have put back a bank roll of the quarters as they came out, would add up to another 300 sets of at least the early rolls (before they got tired of it). what does this mean? well, how many people out there are aware of some of the other runs of coins that are pleantiful in unc. but very difficult to find in circ.? at what level will the states quarters finnally settle out....I'll ask Carnac the Magnificent to check his Mayonaise jar, and let you'll know Report this Post to the Staff
DNA Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 04/03/2009 9:44 pm Never mind State Quarters, we should all be hoarding BU rolls of Territory Quarters! Each type-mint variety (as yet) is less than half the mintage of the lowest mintage type-mint State Quarter (the Oklahoma-D), with the Puerto Rico "P" the lowest at a mere 53,000,000 coins. That's the lowest mintage business strike variety since the 1962 Philadelphia Quarter! And good luck finding BU Territory Quarter rolls at your bank, what with the massive 'backwash' of coins coming into the Fed branches. (the same reason why most people on this forum haven't seen a 2009 Cent in circulation!) All this talk of 'billions minted' is ironic when (currently) the Puerto Rico "P" is the lowest mintage business strike Clad Quarter variety from 1965 to date! If millions of " State Quarter savers" become disinterested in a few years, they'll cash in their BU rolls, which would of course reduce the number of BU rolls, which would be good for real 'collectibility' in the long term....

Jays-Dad Pillar of the Community United States 790 Posts	Posted 04/03/2009 10:17 pm As a primarily dark side collector (though I collect US as just another country) I find this whole thread silly. Mintages of 53,000,000 as the lowest since 1965! I recently picked up my 3rd 1966 25c coin from Seychelles. This coin had a mintage of 10,000. Not 10 million or 100 million, but 10 thousand. I could go on and on with other coins, but....maybe I made a little point. Report this Post to the Staff
oshelt Valued Member United States 103 Posts	Posted 04/04/2009 09:52 am As a counterpoint to JaysDad...there are how many collectors of the coins from the Seychelles? a couple of hundred, a couple of thousand? more than likely in the hundreds. thus a 10,000 mintage is more than enough to satisfy all the collectors. Now how many collectors of the states quarters and territory quarters do we have? In the hundreds of thousands? my point Report this Post to the Staff

This is in no way meant to be derogatory of the 1966 Seychelles 25¢ or the (few and proud) people who collect such a truly low-mintage coin! Report this Post to the Staff
