I have been collecting State Quarters since they started coming out. I have been rolling up Philly and Denver mint of each state. Is this a worth wile project. Would they have a future value. |

Sure, if you enjoy it, they are worth collecting. They are probably not going to become valuable any time soon since so many of them were made and many people have saved them. p.s. I've been buying mint and proof sets every year since 1999 mainly for the quarters, so I guess you could say I am collecting them. I've also got about 15 or 20 uncirculated rolls of various states that I've acquired in various ways, so yeah...  Edited by KenKat

It's unlikely that anyone alive today would make a profit on them in the future, especially with any inflation considered. Spend the $10 per roll on nice older coins that you can really love. Unless you already love your rolls. Collecting is all about LOVE  |

Collect what you enjoy, what gives you satisfaction. Value doesn't mean much if you love what you collect.

I predict that all of them will be worth at least 0.26 each in about 500 years. So if you plan on being here then, yes you will make a large profit. Maybe not really large but a profit.
Always reminds me of those bicentennial Quarters. Way back when they came out both me and a friend started hoarding them. We saved everyone we could find. After about 20+ years I took all mine to a coin show to sell. Best offer was 0.24 each. I ended up taking all of mine to a bank and simply added the amount to a savings account. My friend did the same thing. If your planning on collecting them for a profit, you would be better off investing in a buggy whip factory.

Regarding future valuation, I expect inflation and dealer's discount / marketing platform costs to outpace any sort of collectors premium. Do it for the love :)

If you enjoy collecting them then yes it's worth doing. If you're collecting them hoping for future value increase, then know it's not a good move. If average State Quarters ever reached significant premiums it probably won't be in less than 100 years or more. And by significant premium I mean three times face. |

If you enjoy it, go right ahead, but just be sure you recognize that quantities of these coins are going to be a drug on the market for years to come, and your return on investment, as it were, will be little more than face value.

I agree completely with all the other comments, that the clad State Quarters are not worth saving for a future profit, just way too many of them made. Sounds like you are just pulling them from circulation to make your rolls, and not actually buying them, so I would say if you enjoy doing that just for the fun of the search, by all means continue doing it, you'll have a good amount of money saved up in the end in the face value of the rolls. However, if you really like the State Quarters and even the ATB Quarters, and you want to spend a little money on your collection, I would advise buying the proof silver quarters from some of the lowest mintage years. I believe that the future price appreciation potential is better with the silver proofs rather than any of the clad issues, and worst case is that they would always be worth melt value. With current silver prices, a junk silver quarter is worth about $3 melt, and you can get many of the proof silver quarters at $5-6 each. Edited by jmgi

I got a complete circulation set for $12.50.
I visited some friends in California, who had a large bikkie barrel, that they used to save pocket change. An hour or so of fun, as I searched for them.
A numismatic memento of my visit.
