GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 07/28/2012 10:29 pm I would say 50 cents a coin would be a good buy, for uncirculated State Quarters. I have seen some coin shops seeling them for 70 cents to a dollar each, there are a couple coins that have a higher roll price .. so single coin price can be higher .. but should still stay at one dollar each for your high price. Some coin shops may have sets in albums (P and D) in the $80 to $100 range. For the top coins, the "S" mint silver proofs, I think you could purchase a complete set 1999 - 2008 in the low $400 range .. or less, if you found the right shop. If you did not care about getting BU coins, going to a bank and buying rolls of quarters, sort out the State Quarters .. you may be able to put together most of a set for face value. Of course it might be hard taking back the coins you don't need to a bank, with out a account. There are coin star machine that let you cash in coins with a 9% fee Report this Post to the Staff
ghostrider Pillar of the Community United States 1116 Posts	Posted 07/29/2012 12:48 am denis to speed you collecting process along you may want to search the web for coin shops in the cities that you will be visiting. I have no personal knowledge of any shop in the cities that you will be visiting but I would recommend the following strategy for you. 1: Select what you want to collect either a circulating collection which would consist of coins from Denver and Philadelphia. Trying to get the uncirculated and silver proof sets from the San Francisco mint might prove to be very daunting unless you happen to get lucky. 2: Select the type of album that you are going to use. 3: If you are going to try for just a circulating set getting rolls of quarters from a bank will reduce the overall cost. The three cities that you listed would be great for getting coins from both mints. However the big limiting factor will be the amount of time that you are planning on spending in the states. Enjoy your stay. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 07/29/2012 11:11 am Go to Google and type in coin shows and the states your planning of visiting. Hopefully you can find a coin show in those areas at the time your planning on being there. If you know someone in those areas and they are able to make it to a coin show, they could possibly pick up an entire collection of those. At coin shows I've seen dealers with the entire sets for sale and all in Uncirculated condition. Mamy dealers have a lot of them separately but you would end up paying more buying each one that way. In some states there are coin shows every weekend. Not sure if by you or where you will be going though. Just can't beat a coin show for such items. Report this Post to the Staff
ninamason Pillar of the Community United States 1227 Posts	Posted 07/30/2012 05:07 am Denis, a sidenote: If you mean New York City (as opposed to New York state), don't even waste your money unless you find prices there that match or beat what's being suggested here. NYC is one of the most expensive cities in the US, and while Seattle also isn't fantabulous, it's better than NYC. If you have the ability to drive outside NYC, check out some local places in NJ, PA, and nearby places in New York--the prices will be cheaper. Report this Post to the Staff
