I was saving uncirculated State Quarters and park quarters but I was thinking that since there clad they won't beat inflation in a long run. Do you think modern quarters are worth saving for the long run as a investment? |

For purely making money no, not unless youre planning on passing them down a few generations of theyre an very high grade. They are cool though

Noop, way too many made. Maybe you can cherry pick some high grade mark free examples for putting away as they may get some appreciation.

Regular circulation strike State Quarters will never be worth much. As an investment, certain State Quarter errors are a better investment. One of the main reasons is the high mintage. Millions of State Quarters were produced by both the Denver and Philadelphia mints. Unlike the Silver Proof Quarters minted in SF, the Circulation strikes contain no precious metals. Over the last few years since the State Quarter Program ended, the demand decreased. |

I will be cashing in a bunch of unc. 1999-2002 State Quarter rolls very soon. This should be saying something. P.S. I was able to pick them up for face and look through them (found a deleware partial collar  ). |

I doubt they will ever be worth much more than face value in your lifetime. I agree that the mintages are just to high on modern coins. I saved a roll of each State Quarter P. and D. but only a few states are worth much more than the $10.00 I paid for them. I dont do modern coins anymore. just sticking with older coins for the most part. Exept for Modern commems I do buy one pfoof and 1 unc of each one the mint turns out. |

The problem with those is so many started to hoard them by the rolls. There are people with thousands of those things. I would suspect the only ones that will ever be worth saving are the ones for the 51st State. Possibly if enough people start to dump them all in banks, the ones you save in a high grade will poswibly be worth something but never to much. |

Are there any particular ones ( State Quarters) that have any value, like errors and the such? |

The Red Book had Tennessee as the most valuable, but I come across these all the time. I've found Montana is the hardest to find in circulation and will be the most valuable. The bison skull is also quite unusual. |

Investment? No way

I look at it as an investment in all my grandon's education. I have 6 collections in books going. The UNCs go to the grandsons to spur on their intrest in the states (even the ATBs peke their interest). The two Proof sets, silver and copper/nic are for my sons.
BTW, errorcoins, i'll take a roll each and pay for shipping. I'll PM you.

They are if they are slabbed by PCGS or NGC from circulation rolls in MS67 and higher. Most circulation quarters average out to 63, 64, so a clean quarter in 67 and higher is rare and special.

Quote:Are there any particular ones ( State Quarters) that have any value, like errors and the such? For quite a while there were articles about the extra ear on the ear of corn on the Wisconsin one. Red Book, page 183 shows a few photos of them. Listed in this book as about $50 to $250. Photos were also in coin magazines like Coin World but lately all the fuss about that faded away. |

State Quarters will be as good of an investment as Bicentennial Quarters were, i.e. not good at all. Even many of the Silver Proof issues(other than 1999 and 2001) are trading at spot prices. Some of the varieties will most likely retain value but the potential for increase is unknown- Wisconsin high and low leaf, a select few of the Minnesota DDRs, and the major Washington DC DDR will probably do ok but those are not coins you come across everyday in a roll. It is also worth mentioning that State Quarter errors are still worth more than their 1965-1998 counterparts.

Actually, there a two different errors on the Wisconson; both invole extra leaves and their position relative to the actual leaf.

So for now on I'm saving the Wisconsin coin until I find these errors. I will be doing the same for the Minnesota coin. What mint mark should we be looking for?
Just how common is the error anyway?
