I don't know why, but I just bought a "lot" of 39 FDI State Quarters

Rampage

I have not gone through them all, but a coin shop I frequent had them all stuffed in a box on the counter. Been there for two years or so with a $1.00 marked on them. They are all still sealed in the celophane wrapper. So, all unused and fresh. Anyway, I bought the lot of 39 for $23.25. That works out to be less than $0.60 per set.

Anyway, just thought I would share...Now, what to do with these things.

How many quarter are there in each set... 2? So you paid a dime above face?

That is correct. I asked the owner of the shop what he wanted for them, and he counted how many were in there, noted there were no silver coins, and noted there were two per set (P and D), and said $23.25 for the lot of them.

I'd have bought the deal as well. Good for you.

Someday, I sure do hope I get more than .10 a quarter from the 50 2003 sets (that's 500 quarters) I have.

Actually, that is $0.10 per set or $0.05 per quarter. I do see them selling on eBay for more than that. I just don't know how popular these are anymore.

I think the popularity of the coin covers was the possibility of getting a high grade quarter since they were supposed to have been pulled from the first days mintage. You know, fresh dies and all.

Unfortunately, most of what I've seen was just typical circulated coinage.

Weren't these like $14.95 each from the US Mint?

It's too bad that First striking days and First Issue days never matched up.
Then First slabbings days didn't either.

I was lucky to get my hands on 8 euro&state quarters sets the mint put out.
