Another State Quarter Question - When Do You Stop

The coin buying impulse is great in me as well. I try to concentrate on the collects of proof Jefferson nickels, Sacagawea dollars and PCGS State Quarters that I already have started. But I found myself being compelled on buying a 2008 uncirculated American Silver Eagle coin. I normally don't collect them, And I'm wondering if I can do justice to that type set. Well if I come to the conclusion I can't I feel I will be able to sell it rather easily. Some times a person needs to stand back and rethink their buying habits. Easier said than done, right Goldrush58. Signed a fellow coin hound suffering the same affliction!

I think you have enough :)
I'm trying to put together a collection (P and D) from circulated rolls here in Canada. I'm about 65% done. I know some have criticized the mints both in Canada and the US for the amount of commemorative quarters made, especially with such high mintages, but I'm a sucker for them. They're now going to be distributing quarters highlighting an attraction in each state right? I can't wait until the first of those turn up here in Canada

When I receive my two hundred and fiftieth post, I'll be lighting my collection load on the forum of items I have no interest in. That's for sure!

I stopped with the states, didn't collect the territory coins, and am not collecting the parks coins.

as for my other collections, there are never enough Lincolns, Morgans or Mercury dimes.

Tim - Good question, Not sure if they are my favorite series. I do like them a lot.
I think someday my 7070 album will be my favorite, but it has way to go.
I have collected Lincoln cents the longest .. and I am liking how it is turning out.

There is just something about being able to sort through a large amount of BU coins (with the quarters)
and trying to find the very best examples that really gives me satisfaction.

Metalman - Somehow I got by with only a few each of the territory quarters. But I might pick up a few more each.
So far I have only picked up two Hot Springs. I am sure I will order more from the mint.

I just can't help myself with the State Quarters.

I had a list yesterday, but I did have some State Quarters on it.

The coin show is still going on today, maybe I will just take a list with Jefferson nickels and
Roosevelt dimes, and just try to get them.

Well all depends on what makes you happy...awhile ago I took $ 2500.00 is State Quarter rolls back to the bank and cashed them in. But I have all the 1st day covers, two complete sets of silver and regular proof sets both just th State Quarter proof and regular proof 1999 - 2009. I also have a couple complete albums in State Quarters. I really do not think they will ever b worth much but will pass them onto my kids and they their kids I hope. I have slowly been sending in the silver State Quarters and getting a complete graded collection all PF69 now I think that set may be worth something in time.

I have also been carried away with buying all kinds of coins but this year have scaled WAY down as I know I am getting carried away been good so far this year and trying not to get hooked on the National Park quarters waiting for the full proof sets will get two of the full proof sets this year and that is it regular and silver but also plan to get at least 3 uncirculated coin sets as they will have ALL the circulated coins made in them for 2010 and go into my albums.

coins are nice we just seem to love them us collectors as long as you are not depriving your family of things an paying your bills that is up to you.

Well.... I like what I see there Bud ! ....
And I just say that, you'll know when you've had enough of the State Quarters....it'll just be a "feeling". And then you can stop. Just by posting and merely asking and talking about it, shows that you might be getting close !
If I counted my Nephew's St. Qtr. collection......my future step-daughters....my Dads....and mine.....I've got quite a few out there too.
My Dansco with Proofs is the only one that I'll have complete with Silver Proofs though.....and I'll be mighty proud of that one when it's done. (all Uncirculated Biz. strikes too....no Satins !)
The folders I've done were/are really satisfying to me. I still avidly "upgrade" them when I find better examples from roll hunting.
I "MAXED OUT" with the Territory Qtrs ! I even got the F.D.C.C.'s for each one ! ....
The Parks Qtrs. are something that I still haven't decided on yet....of course I'll collect them....but as to "how" remains my issue. I won't do the "rolls"......but I'll "coin tube" any BU's that I come accross. I'll build the albums from Mint Sets and Proof Sets.....but the bloody Satins ! ......UGH !
Anyway.... Goldrush.....you're doing fine Bro !
When the time is right, and you've had your fill.....you'll know ! ...
And then it's time to move on and focus the O.C.D. towards something else..... like the Parks Quarters ! .... .....and then it begins all over again ! Ha Ha LoL ... .. ..

I agree with Tim Stroud.
If that is what you really enjoy collecting, than you can focus on it. If you want more variety in that, you could change it up. If you haven't already, you could try collecting high graded State Quarters, and slowly build a set of those. The possibilities are endless, uncirculated, proof, they even make gold plated and colorized (although us coin roll hunters hate em! :) If you still want to improve your other collections also, that is fine also. I myself don't really buy anything but lincoln cents when I go to shows. I also have at least 2 complete sets of State Quarters from my grandmother, and have compiled even more circulated ones. If that is what you want to collect single mindedly, than its totally up to you.
