N.F. String & Son state quarter rolls IN, MO, ME, VT, TN, AR, LA, IL, OH, NC, AL, MS and 2 unknown. (label missing heads only showing)
All from the Denver mint. Are they worth anything? All the rolls are clean and in good shape.

were they on the floor?

JRocco

I'm not really sure I understand the question???

tlhoy,

They have value to State Quarter roll collectors. Some bring $11.50 to $12 each. Most of the ones you've mentioned are widely available, so they only bring a small premium.

I think you're hoping that they are worth some sort of premium as fresh from the mint state quarters.

I believe you will find they are worth about $10 per roll, assuming they each contain 40 quarters.

Keep them air tight and your great-grandchildren may reap a small profit.

Come on! Don't be mean. tlhoy, They are worth something. You might want to keep them rolled, or pick out the gems to slab. Ebay is another idea!! Good Luck!!

cladking

The TN roll wholesales at about $27. The others are less.

Gems can be worth substantial premiums though it's improbable that you have
more than a three or four that will go MS-65 and likely none better. Watch for
varieties. Only the NC has anything reported so far from these but they have a
habit of going undetected sometimes.

nwcs

TN ones wholesale for that much? Heck, I may be tempted to dump mine then...

I can't take it any more. Since when are state quarters collectible?

beartracks42

State Quarters are like all other coins, they became collectible right after they were minted!!! It is probably good that they did not have our communication advantages 100+ years ago or someone would have asked, "Since when did Seated dimes or dollars, etc. become collecible."

i refuse to ever believe that state quarters are going to be worth money. they are just like the 2$ bill (1976 and 1995 series) and like all other times our govt tells us irs going to be rare. yes they only make 200 million of a coin and call it rare. lets think follow me on this. 1998 the gov made 896 million 25cent coins. ok now the govt says thsestate coins are rare yet we got 5 stateswith production of 300 mil per state. does our govt really think people are stupid enough to believe that we the public are gonna say oooo let me go for this rare coin that isnt really rare. every tiem our govt says RARE it becomes worthless than face value. the other example i couldnt remember was teh 1976 quarter. something different the govt thought it would be rare everyone held on to it . and look no return. if you dont buy proof and mint sets of what our govt calls rarewill you see a return.

I just sent in ,to be graded,a Maryland state quarter that is missing the clad layer on the reverse(the rev. is all copper).I found this quarter in an obw roll that i opened,I thought that was cool.

tlhoy,if you end up taking the quarters back to the bank,open'em first.

Atarian,

As long as there are suckers out there who believe that there is a justification for a big premium on this type of coin, there will be people selling them for a premium.

Placid

Are they low mintage?

Careful who you're calling a sucker. They made 225 million plus of most of these and they
are widely distributed with only around half in circulation. That leaves an awful lot of "suckers"
out there!

Wasn't it Henry Ford who said "no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the
American consumer." ?

It really is just supply and demand. So long as the demand satays high there will be high prices.
It should also be remembered that while the coins are widely distributed, there are those who
haven't located one yet. When this demand is satisfied there cpould be a fall off in price. This is
no done deal though since it really depends on whether or not there were enough saved to meet
current and future demand.

Heck yeah! I think you're fortunate to have them! You won't get a free vacation out of it, but I wish I had 'em.

My bank won't just give out state quarter rolls to people who collect coins. They got tired of it, and quit.
