Generally, less mintages mean higher appreciation. Maybe some dealers buy 10 sets or so, but those get depleted sometime after they end sales on the Mint site. Then sets in the hands of collectors become more pricey as dealers ask for them. Less than a million sets means it is a limited release, so the mint sets are good collector items. I received my mint sets today, and I opened one. It is appalling that they send some scab coins in these sets, but you never can tell if you have a winner, because sometimes different errors are found much later in those sets. The sets are supposed to have a satin finish, but some of the quarters look almost indistinguishable from general circulation rolls I have opened. Go figure. The incuse edge lettering on the golden dollars looks like the first year Washington, with the "V" cut into the letter at it's depth. The stars have a flattened interior field that looks like a texture of some kind.
The package better than the old cello, and I got my sets early. Yeah! I don't see anything unusual about lettering in the quarters, and the block effect is also there. I think that's a machine effect, almost Machine Doubling, but that's for the experts to say. I am still wating for some word from Crawford on the doubling that I see in the quarters of Hot Springs and Yellowstone. I ordered my Yosemite rolls, I should have those by this weekend, and I will post any errors here.
Topcat has it right when he says "Buy what you like". I agree. If you want to make millions, coins may not be a way to do so. But what fun.

Lol I am never going to "Invest" in coins I simply collect what looks fun or appealing to me, sure the thought of hmm, I wonder how much this will be when my grandkids are old goes through my head, but I'm just doing it for my fun and so maybe my family later in life can get into it to when I kick the bucket.

I've been interested in the quarters, never collected any though why are they so popular?

Thanks :)
