So recently came into a very good deal for proof/unc sets and was wondering if a BU set of P/D State Quarters is worth trying to sell? On ebay the 100 BU coins seem to barely go for $40 and that is with the $20 Dansco album with it. I was thinking of releasing these unc sets into the wild but does it seem worthwhile to save the State Quarters? |

Before you spend them put the word out that you are looking to pass them on for a small amount over face or even face as long as they go to a good home.

That is true. I am saving the unc cents and halves for my mom and her couple of albums. Who knows I may want to keep them for myself. ;) I have the Dansco for the silver proof date set but maybe I need another one

I think they are worth saving.

If these are mint set coins, I would 2x2 the entire set and put them away.

It is CERTAINLY worth keeping if these are mint set coins as AES pointed out. I would Dansco them myself.

Yeah I cut them all out of the mint sets tonight. There are certainly some beauties in there... I guess my question would be it would seem worth it to hold them even if I already have a set of BU (albeit toned) State Quarters? For instance, @AES, why would you put them away? |

You have one set, no reason not to have two sets. Just as GR58!  Regardless, you should hold them, perhaps gift them to a child someday and let them build the album. |

I'd set aside all the matte coins and Gems.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

Yeah I guess at the very least hand them off to some family. My mom showed some interest so we will see. I love GR58's pics don't get me wrong... I just don't think my budget would allow me to keep that many coins! And yeah on ebay it seems like sets are sold for maybe $5 over the face and album cost so I don't think it would be worth... Yet anyways. Maybe someday. Thanks all! |

Well, you did get a good deal on those sets, so taking a small loss and paying it forward would not be a bad thing.  |

I have an aunt that gave me a giant bucket of State Quarters to sort out into 2 sets for my nephews. They are all pretty nice unc coins with 12 states having full rolls from the bank p & d back when you could actually find that kind of stuff. Point bring if you're willing to put together 2 nice sets in flips or something, I wojld buy them. I dont have the time to sort through what I have but I can convert it into money :). Pm me if you're interested and sorry for the thread hijack |
