What qtr. is the hardest to get?

My bank has rolls and rolls of 5 different states from the mint....... which states are the hardest to find? Should I not waist my time....

Ohio-P which has the lowest (but not low) mintage.

After 5 years, it still seems to me that New Jersey is the quarter that pops up with the least frequency, even though I know certain mints from certain states have lower mintages.

1932-S is hard to get.

Still looking for a nice 1796...

DRUNNER · October 21, 2003 2:32AM

1901-S in a strong VF?

If you can get a roll of those at the bank then I'm buying.

"After 5 years, it still seems to me that New Jersey is the quarter that pops up with the least frequency..."

I completely agree with this observation!!!

I would like to buy an original bank roll of 1796 quarters, that is the only date I don't have an original roll

I think the TN and KY are the ones no one saved in big quantities. I think dealers are paying about $25 for the TN rolls and $20 for the KY.

Which are the 5 states your bank has?

Baley · October 21, 2003 5:06AM

they're right, the 1796 is almost never found in circulation. the 1804 is also very tough.

I haven't been seeing many 1901-S or 1916 SLQs either.

the hardest quarter of all, I think, is the 1827, followed by the 1823.

AmericanSilverEagleCoins · October 21, 2003 5:17AM

Any quarter that I am currently seeking seems to be the most elusive!!

Steve355 · October 21, 2003 5:39AM

Haven't come across any '16 Std Libs in circulation lately...

I'm still looking for a 1873 CC No Arrows in any condition

ms70 · October 21, 2003 6:54AM

I think Georgia is the toughest as far as high grade condition goes. It's the most expensive slabbed State Quarter in MS67.

flaminio · October 21, 2003 6:59AM

Thanks, Barry.

Now how about a 1975?

jonesy · October 21, 2003 7:24AM

This baby is an R7. Kinda Rare!!

mozeppa · October 21, 2003 7:24AM

i'd say a 2004 is really tuff right now ........but i predict they'll be making an appearance soon!

The answer is none of them. With mintages in the hundreds of millions and millions of coins going to collection, run of the mill uncirculated state quarters will never amount to much as investments. There are just too many of them.

The coins that might amount to something are the ultra high grade (MS-67+) Mint State pieces. It remains to be seen however what would be an appropriate amount to pay for these coins.

I don't collect moderns, but I presume that's a trick question!

TheNumish · October 21, 2003 8:01AM

Barry,

There were no quarters dated 1975 since the mint struck bicentennial quarters so that they'd be in circulation when the bicentennial started in 1976.

Barry · October 21, 2003 8:42AM

Thanks Numish. I did check my Redbook after the last posting.
