    I got one in change the other day... OOOOOOH you mean in MS67! Hmmm - depends on how many people have looked at their 1999 mint sets - that's the $64,000 question it seems.

    Some day the buyer @ over $100 will be much harder to find than the coin.

    That's the typical price for one.

    I wonder how much a ms-68 would get image

    Since an MS-68 would put you tied at the top of the heap for the finest graded, I imagine that you would be looking at $1,500 or so.

    I know people don't like these comments, but did you look at the picture of the dang coin? It doesn't look like a proof-like. The fields look hazy and dull, and the strike does not show me Caesar Rodney's eyeballs or even his boot spurs. If it's not the finest graded, it won't pull you up the Registry in the short run, so what future does it have in the long run?

    Price sounds right to me, given that Tulving.com is selling 2000 10 Coin Sets in MS-67 for $415.

    BTW, their price for MS66 State Quarters (Delaware included) is $17

    I never get involved much with the new coins until they've been out a
    couple of years. This would be a pretty tough grade for many dates of
    the older quarters though.

    I guess I'll have to defer to Mr. Jones' expertise on the Delaware quar-
    ter. Anyone who can look for eyeballs on coins and can see the future
    is surely quite the expert!

    Is it rare ...I don't know
    Is it valuable ...I don't know
    Is it worth a hundred bucks...not to me
    Will it become very valuable in 10-20 years... who knows

    What I do know is that a state quarter in any grade still looks like pocket change

    If I spend big bucks on a coin I want something I can't get at the bank

    The reverse of the Delaware is almost entirely field, with very few details to block a coin-to-coin strike. They are truly tough to get without lots of bag marks, coin counter wheelies, and other contact marks.

    I don't know if they're exactly rare, but they are really hard to find if you want one.
