State Quarters

#1 Postby coriolis » Sun Nov 21, 2004 12:24 pm

How many of us are collecting them? Are you collecting them from your change? Are you getting rolls of quarters to go through from the bank? Are you buying specially mounted sets? Are you buying uncirculated pieces from coin shops? Do you spend part of your collection when you're broke the day before payday?

I've done all of the above.

So far, the scarcest one is the Iowa P, followed by the Ohio P and Maine P. The Ohio and Maine are getting harder to find in circulation. The most plentiful one is the Virginia P, followed by the South Carolina P, and the Conneticut P. Seems like every time I go to the store I get one of these.

Here's a link to the mintage numbers so far:

I'm collecting one of each, just from my change and what I get from my dad. He somehow always gets them before I do. Called me last night to tell me he got $5 of the new Wisconsin quarters. I dunno... I think he hands them out at work.

Not really...what I DO have are proof sets from my parent's year of birth (1921) as well as those of my siblings (1944, 1947, 1950, 1953); and myself (1951), Debi (1954) and of course, Coppertop (1988).

Each set contains a dollar, half-dollar (if applicable), quarter, dime, nickel and penny, all in EXC-issued condition.

Cool, Bill.

Here's a follow-up question. Which ones do you think are attractive/ugly?
Imaginative/unimaginitive?
Any trivia?

I like Missouri and Maine.
I think the Maryland design is boring.
I think the Texas design looks like something from another country.
The rock formation shown on the New Hampshire quarter has fallen down and is no more.

I just look to see the designs of the new ones and I always look for the backwards minted tree. (is that Connecticut?) Haven't found one yet.

I have been collecting the state quarters as well in one of those special collection books.

I do have a small coin collection as well. I have a 1909 VDB penny, the 1943 steel pennies (made during WWII to save copper), losts of silver dimes, a mercury dime, buffalo nickles and indian cents. :)
