So I went and got my usual box of nickels today and I decided to get 10 quarter rolls as well, they are all 2011 Gettysburg quarters FRESH from the mint. So my question is what do you think I should do with them all?

I would keep the best, and then spend or trade the rest.

They are all the best, from what I can tell not one of these quarters has been circulated at all

I opened the first roll just to make sure and the other 9 rolls are still in the fed paper roll, I am tempted to keep them all cause I heard the National Park quarters have lower mint numbers, I also almost feel bad to send such nice quarters into circulation to get ruined.

Nice! I should have bought the box of quarters I saw behind the teller today, but I already bought a box of nickels and was going elsewhere to find a box of halves. I'd keep a few rolls, and try and trade for some other coins or rolls you're looking for.

Hoarding Ultra Modern coins, isn't generally ever going to be profitable in the "long run", as a general rule, but that doesn't mean there isn't a "collectibility factor". I would certainly keep a roll or two for your own collection. And the others, I'd still keep to trade for the mintmark that you can't get. Like for example, I can't get the P mint here where I live....they're always D mints usually.
I always say.....if you can afford it....sit on it for awhile. There's no hurry and you can make up your mind later. There could be a good error announced to look for.....a really super low mintage....whatever.
But, the newer collectors are definitely into "roll collecting"....and I think this form of collecting is in it's infancy still. It's such a foreign/puzzling thing to "old-timers", and frowned upon with disapproval for sure. But I don't think it should be so readily discounted. But, the potential value of buying, selling, and trading them (BU or Mint Set rolls) in the future is an unknowable factor by ANYONE, IMO.

I keep repeating this story. Back in the 70's myself and a friend went nutty collecting those Bicentennial Quarters. Got rolls from the banks, grabbed everyone we saw in change, asked people for them. My friend beat me out with several thousand of them. I had hundreds of dollars worth. All were in those nice expensive plastic rollsf for that great day in the future when we could sell them for a massive amount of money. After well over 30 years we both took many to coin shows and asked dealers if they wanted to buy any. Almost all said NO. One did offer $0.24 each sort of like saying NO I guess. All ended up in a banks counting machine for face value. I suspect in about 30 years yours will be worth the same.

 Take the money from the 10 rolls and buy a Morgan, Walking Liberty,or early Wheat cent. Something besides modern coins.

I am holding onto them for a bit to see if they become the new 2009 nickels or if there is a nice error discovered with these coins in the near future. The good part is I paid 100 bucks for these ten rolls and even if nothing does come of them I will get 100 bucks back unless I decide to keep one roll for myself.
