back a few years ago,
the PENNSYLVANIA & DELAWARE Quarters
were said to be impossible to find in Circulation
anymore & were rare. Dealers sell them for several Dollars
each around here & advertise they pay between 50 & 75 cents each
for nice specimens.

However,, I get them in Circulation alot.
I think people are starting to spend the rolls they
once were going to save.


Prsonally, I can't see them becomming valuable since everyone
and their Brother Saves them.

I got a Free album in the mail once.
so I decided to fill it.

When it is full, it will have $12.50 face Value.
I figure I can then sell it for $20.00 to someone.

Of course a dealer will sell them for $50.00

and the Coin Dealers on Home shopping will be selling
them for $300.00 :P
 

The state quarter program is credited with tripling the number of coin collectors in this country and a high percentage of them were hoarded initially and are now being dumped. U.S. Mint rolls (H/T) will always command a small premium but there are much better coin investments out there.

I like to focus my attention on older coins. The Bust series are particularly affordable in lower grades, and beautiful coins.
