Every bicentennial coin was worse than the original design

Plus, the half dollar was nothing but a ripoff of the Sesqui quarter eagle.

I'd rather see an eagle on the moon than a bell on the moon.

What brought this on? Looking at some bicentennials?

It's still fun to get a drummer boy quarter every now and again.

I just learned that my parents have been saving some for the last 32 or 33 years. Should they be spent or is there a market for them?

Uncirculated or proof I would save. Circulated clad, I would spend. That's just me, some people save them but I don't see them having any significant value in the near future.

It all depends upon grade.

To each his/her own. I happen to like the quarter reverse design, the only one of the three I like.

I save every one I get if they are not moldy. I do it as a tribute to my dad, who saved every one. When I found one of his "secret stashes" in April it is what made me get really into coins-among the items in the box were 5 Peace Dollars, one Morgan, a handfull of Mercury dimes-and about 25 BiCentennial quarters! I'm up to 33 now.

One of these days I'll buy myself a silver set.

Many older people started saving bicentennial circulation coins. They were the first commemoratives most had seen, and the simple designs connected directly with childhood images.

My sister-in-law saved a bowlful of bicentennial quarters, and was very disappointed to hear that they had no premium today.

I've got a little blank quarters whitman folder almost filled with circulated clad bicentennial quarters. I have no idea what compells me to save them, but every one I get goes in there.

I just got one the other day. I don't really like the design all that much but they do remind me of when I first started collecting so I like seeing them in circulation from time to time.
