Do you collect the State Quarters (stamp, buy, Denver, Philadelphia)

[Poopy00]

I have the DC one but i've given up on the idea of getting the territories.

I've managed to get one from another friend. thanks though.

No problem! Glad you got it. I love the DC one, with Duke Ellington. How classy is that?!

My father got me into coin collecting as a kid, I got the books for the state quarters and territories, etc. - I'm giving up on it and just thinking of actually spending the money.

I mostly collect silver quarters pre 1965.

I have 2 quarter folders, both state and national park. 2 slots for each, for the D and P. They're full and have a few quarters with a W near year.

Have a few rolls of bicentennials too. A fun collection!

Some of the National Park quarters from 2010-2012 have surprisingly low mintages, I was surprised when I looked up the info.

just as Flamingo13 posted....

my father got me "into" coin collecting.
however, this is a dwindling hobby with
falling values as well, unless you deal in
super-duper rarities in mint condition.

classic cars are in the same situation.
the average collector is fading away.

Not if the annual classic car auctions are any indication.

Coin collecting is not a dwindling hobby and values don’t fall for silver coins even common ones. The clad state quarters were not a good investment but they are fun to collect.

No kidding. I can't tell you how many times I've been offered A LOT of money for my '72 Chevy 3/4 ton.



My wife has collected all the state quarters. It makes her happy and that's the point. I collected wheatie pennies as a kid. My parents would dump out their change at the end of the day and go thru them and wheaties went into my glass jug. I've got a crap ton of them.
