The Silver Searcher Pillar of the Community United States 1388 Posts	Posted 06/20/2012 08:17 am I am looking to start a set of ATB Quarters and I looked at the mint website to see what was available. What is the difference between the Uncirculated quarter set and the Circulating coin set? Would both of these be necessery for a complete set? Any input would be apprieciated. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 06/20/2012 08:44 am The UNC set contains slightly better minted coins, like the ones from the UNC set of 28 coins, which is why the UNC set of quarters costs $3 more. The circulating set includes quarters likes ones that are sent to the Federal Reserve for circulation at banks. Report this Post to the Staff

Generally no, the difference would not be recognized by the album companies OR collectors. Most will treat them as the same coin. I will. Report this Post to the Staff
ericmckeown Valued Member United States 379 Posts	Posted 06/20/2012 09:56 am This has been one of my favorite sets so far, but after the State Quarter eternity, I'm only collecting one coin for each release. No preference on mint mark, just love the designs on most so far. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187950 Posts	Posted 06/20/2012 4:35 pm In my opinion, the biggest difference is the packaging. The uncirculated set would have the better chance of higher grade coins since those coins were minted specifically for the sets. The coins in the circulating set come from the normal production run, so they have better chance of nicks and dings. In my opinion, if you normally build your sets from circulation and want to fill some holes, the circulating set would be the way to go. Another way to look at it... Before this set existed (satin finish fiasco aside), did you feel compelled to buy all of the mint sets and get the coins from circulation?

Thats what I do to fill 5 albums and sell the rest. I have the rolls of Acadia I got a couple days ago to go through sitting right here. Report this Post to the Staff
