    Again, circulated junk, you know like stuff in your pocket that you got from the corner store that some kid brought in that he found that morning in the street...junk.

    Something........forget it image

    Happy Holidays.

    I just noticed that I haven't seen a nice AU eagle reverse quarter
    in circulation in a couple years now.

    It's remarkable how the definition of junk is constantly evolving. image

    That's an interesting comment, CK. For months, I have been occasionally getting 1995-98 quarters in change which are sliders if not Unc. Got a '97 today which is very lustrous. I have no idea where they could be coming from.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    I can not confirm of deny said accusations directed against stated party. The motives derived from such a statement are that caused by brain faster than fingers syndrom. Or the fact! that I be having a pubic edmacatshun?

    This type of thing is almost always caused by old coin flowing out of storage.

    The mint and Fed rotate their coin stocks on a "first in, first out" basis but with
    the introduction of the states issues this has been circumvented to a large de-
    gree to get the new issues to the public. The 2001 mini-recession caused large
    numbers of quarters to flow into storage and these coins are still coming out in
    some places. As they get mixed in with the huge number already circulating and
    get dispersed by their "random walk" they will not be seen, even locally, for long
    after the flow from storage stops.

    I believe that most FED districts are back to normal storage levels which means
    they won't have anything over about three years old in storage. Most of the old
    moderns seen in high grades are specimens which were able to get caught up
    in storage multiple times or sat out in change jars and piggy banks.

    It's interesting that you mention the '95 since all these were released by about
    '97 so these are getting especially tough. A few of the '96 to '98 coins might still
    be in storage and you might be getting some of these after light circulation. Coins
    can trade hands several times and still be unc so if you see only AU's it's a safe
    bet they were circulated and then went into storage.

    I still see a few AU late dates around here but they're all ugly and no sliders.
