I wonder if they will lower those prices as well.

Good question.
Six dollars for ten coins is not that bad of a bad deal when you consider how difficult it is for some of us to find these things in circulation.

Local coin dealers selling each quarters for $0.50 from fresh bank roll. I think these coins would have better quality than the bank roll (or not) but it's good stocking stuffer..... ;)

Don't forget, this Set has both P and D coins. Even if you can get all the designs from circulation, in most parts of the country they will all be from one Mint. I've pulled over 250 ATB Quarters from circulation since 2010. All are D's, except for one Gettysburg-P. One P ATB Quarter in almost three years of searching! |

This is good opportunity to test my theory of purchasing quarters for the ATB album for next year. I would appreciate some input to see if there is any difference in purchasing 2012 quarters for next year. I ran accross this after I had already purchased the majority of the 2011 quarters for my albums. Option 1: Purchase the silver proof ATB set for $41.95 and purchase the five respective 3 coin sets at $9.95 each or $49.95 for a grand total of $91.70. Option 2: Purchase the silver proof ATB set for $41.95. Purchase the proof ATB set for $14. Purchase the ATB Quarters Circulating Coin Set™ (N95) for $5.95 for a grand total of $62.85. The benefit of following Option 2 is that I would save $28.95 and will have the 2012 set completed around sometime in April or May at the latest rather that sometime in mid to late December. The real question is if I follow Option 2 is there any difference between the 3 coin set and the ATB Circulating Coin Set. Saving money is a good thing but not if there is a difference between the two items. Can anyone lend their thoughts on my delimna. I'm really contemplating on following Option 2 unless there is some real positive reason as to why I shouldn't do it. |

Option 2: Those 3-coin Sets are intended for people to keep as is, in that OGP. The Circulated ATB Sets are specifically made to be "Dansco-Whitman friendly". |

How about purchase both proof sets, silver and regular, and the mint sets. Costs a bit more, but you get all the other coins as well.
If you have zero interest in the other coins, then just get the quarter sets and you are good.

I put $10 in the quarter change machine at the sales counter at the US Mint yesterday, out came 19 D and 21 P Denali quarters. I wonder if this is a new thing or just a one time anomaly? The quarter machines used to only dispense the current P ATB Quarter. Interestingly, the Denver quarters were much nicer than the Philly ones. |
