Statehood Quarters to slab or not to slab

maddox

I'm considering putting together a PCGS set of every statehood quarter, silver and clad. Would this be a wise move? Or am I wasting 10 bucks a pop for each coin. I've already got the coins, just unsure what to do with them. My thougths are to put them away for a long time and just simply enjoy owning them.

if you're into registry sets go with. If you just want to see them in platsic go with a cheaper slab.

One thing to consider with these is that most of the circulation strikes are just awful. I sent like 12 of my best and was only able to get 66's and 67's. Right now 68's are going through the roof, so unless you're willing to live in a less expensive neighborhood, I'd sit back and wait - your coins will be safe in their non-hard-plastic holders I'm sure

Maddox. . .personally, I think it would be a great collection to gather now and put away. In fact, that sounds so good I may do the same thing. Most may argue that it's not worth the effort or money, but I beg to differ. . . .in about 150 years (hopefully sooner).

I purchased the proofs in flag holders (all PR69DCAM). I didn't do it for investment, I did it for fun. The cost on the coins is about $4 each if you get them from the mint in the proof sets. The mint has nice packaging! I was only going to get the silver proofs in state flag holders, but I did the clad proofs, too. (I also have a complete set in mint packaging.)

As far as the uncirculated go. Do it if you like the look and you want to have the set in plastic. I would not recommend for investment, but that is up to you. There is the odd chance you could come up with a high grade. In time there is a good chance that the high grade will come way down in value (I could be wrong), I remember when the 1973-S Proof Silver Ike was about $100, now it is about $30. Tastes change over time, and some of the modern stuff is overpriced (IMO). If you grab coins from rolls or bags you will probably be able to get some nice coins. But with the quantities minted, there will many more coins submitted over the years.

What ever you decide, good luck!
