Both are untoned and flashy. The 1980-d (pop 16/0) is $695 and the 1991-p (pop 9/0) is $1195. The 1991 was from a roll. They don't come that nice in mint sets, and rolls are ridiculously hard to find. Thanks for looking!

The mint set '91-P are actually pretty great unless you don't like deep scratches.
They come extremely well made from perfect dies on burnished planchets. A few
of them look almost like proofs. The problem is that they are all scratched up and
the thing that varies the most is the depth of the marking. A very few will grade
gem but probably none as high as MS-67. I have seen a couple that are close.
I don't consider the '80-D that tough but this one is nearly common in MS-65 and
is tough in the higher grades (especially 67). These come nice in the sets and rolls
which are rarely good quality are relatively available.
There were a lot of reasons to avoid saving rolls in '91. It was the beginning of the
funk that would turn into the coin depression of 1995. No one seemed to believe
any coin priced under $1000 was worth much of anything and the higher priced
coins hardly traded. There seemed little point in saving new rolls especially since
most of them contained mangled coins as well. Always in the past the nicest coins
were in the mint set and it would be a couple years before many realized this might
not be true for the '91 quarter. By then there would be no rolls to save.
Most collectors will be able to have a pretty nice gem or near gem '80-D if these ev-
er get a little popular. Most collectors will have to settle for a choice, at best, '91-P.
