I will get the all in April as that is when the mint set comes out. A long time before the release date of the last one of 2013.

I have one roll of BU from the Philly and Denver mints for 2010. I may get the 2011's and 12's, just to keep current with the collection. I don't know though. I'm kinda tempted to sell these and just get some more silver.....decisions, decisions.... :?

It doesn't matter what's stamped into the disc, its still worthless scrap metal. The Mint just wants people to buy the coins and stash them forever.

Its simply part of their profit margin.

Just get the silver proofs for melt value.. best of both worlds.

I do get rolls of them occasionally.. just not very often. I try to flip them quickly before they decline in value. I get D mint rolls.. I could use some P mint rolls. :mrgreen:

I pull all the park and territories I find, as they are few and far between. I don't know where they are all going to but,"hen's teeth" is a good description.

Between my vending machine and the normal change that I come across, I usually go through about $15-20 a week in quarters. I think I've got a total of 6 2014s so far. Not many at all.

For the better part of August I got almost nothing but P mint Arches at TD Banks. Solid rolls from String boxes. Didn't keep any.

Haven't seen the other 2014s

and be with caution bold.
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes and heedless hearts is lawful prize,
nor all that glistens gold.

No National Parks Quarters have came into my pocket change yet, still don't have a
full set of state quarters (seem to keep geting the same ones) but then I only get
what I get in change, I don't sort quarters intentionally.

I have noticed more U.S. quarters up here overall than I used to (and a lot of the
ones I do see are the state quarters) but I think that's because the exchange rate
has been close for most of the last few years and between both Canada and the
U.S. there have been so many comemoratives that most people can't tell in a quick
glance so people aren't pulling their U.S. coins and putting them in a jar for their
next trip south.

Of course this lack of looking at coins by most people is probably why I got a
Phillipines 1 Peso from a clerk in place of a quarter. She probably didn't notice
when the previous customer spent it. I noticed it right away but decided to keep
it because it's neat to have one, I don't need a box full though. ^_-

In an unprecedented move toward ugliness, the US Mint and its designers have brought forth the Mt Rushmore National Parks quarter. I've been to Mt Rushmore and its quite spectacular. To have these quarters concentrate on the presidential nose jobs during the construction phase is an insult. Seems to be a growing trend when governmental influence trumps everything else.

I actually think the Rushmore one looks pretty good. The idea of showing a worker who appears so small seems to be a way of showing just how big Rushmore is. I don't take is as an insult about a nose job at all. And, yes, I'e been there a few times.

I started collecting them but there are soooo many out there that it's really not worth it in my book. I may make folders for my children and nieces and nephews so get them started.

When it comes to the park quarters I have a nice pf70 silver set going. I don't pull any out of change. By the time I find them they are all dinged up. Quarters would have to be my favorite coin and I'm a little behind on my books for them. Need to get that caught up but I'm so picky! I use to save them all but said screw it and cashed them in.

One of the boys in my scout troop actively collects these. The trouble is here in NY we get mainly P's not D's. Anyone out there know of a youth collecting on the west coast that would trade with him?
