just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 04/12/2013 5:10 pm As the economy lately was not the best, many people with those jars, cans, boxes of coins they were saving for a rainy day, got taken to banks. Many people that collected those Quarters thinking someday they'll be worth a fortune, realized it will take a million years for those to go up in value. Lots of people too got tired of all the different Quarters and decided that it's enough and dumped them all back in circulation. The amount of thefts in homes and places where coins are kept also has increased and the crooks just dump them all anywhere they can. Report this Post to the Staff
bumma Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 04/13/2013 08:39 am I am a hoarder. There, I said it. I have a need to hoard something. In order to satisfy that need or "itch" I hoard State Quarters. Why? I's not because I think they will be worth anything in the future. I know better than that. It's because, as stated before, they are everywhere and my itch is easily scratched. At the end of the day I take great pleasure in putting each coin in it's perspective place. Everything else gets put back into circulation after checking. Even the newer Territory and Parks quarters are thrown back once I fill the holes in the grandkids folders. Thanks for listening...I feel better now... Report this Post to the Staff

But part of the hobby is searching and finding. So if collecting them in series is one thing, but finding special ones is another. Report this Post to the Staff
BamaBlue Pillar of the Community United States 624 Posts	Posted 04/13/2013 5:30 pm I still see a lot of people selling individual "BU" State Quarters for $0.99. I don't see people buying them at that price; some sellers are eternal optimists, of figure it's just a matter of time until a dullard wanders by... Report this Post to the Staff
basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 04/13/2013 6:02 pm If they are actually a real nice example it can be a good way to fill holes in an album if one of the mint set coins didnt look good. But usually they seem to just be pulled from bank rolls that certainly arent worth it Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 04/13/2013 6:29 pm I was at a local coin shop this past week, a guy came in and wanted 16 sets of State Quarters. The shop had some State Quarters, but did not have one complete set. He did buy all they had. Funny part is .. I could put together 16 sets ... and was asked if I wanted to sell some .. I said no .. I can't bring myself to sell that many quarters.... Now I wonder what sort of sickness do I have .... Report this Post to the Staff
