Twenty Five Cents
I was cleaning out a cupboard while trying to make room for some books and I happened upon my folders of quarters. Did anyone else save quarters when they came out for each state? It was fun to find them. Both mints, Denver and Philadelphia, produced the quarters so I found two quarters for each state, one with each mint marking.
From Washington Quarters.org: The original composition of 90% silver and 10% copper was used from 1932 to 1964 before being replaced with the copper nickel clad composition. Mintages have ranged widely over they years, with widespread circulation throughout the United States. After the introduction of State Quarters in 1999, the series has gained in popularity and prices for many issues have risen considerably.
Does that mean my collection is valuable? I doubt it as there were so many produced. I didn’t really collect them for their value rather the fun of the hunt was my main objective.

We started saving them but never finished. I’ll have to get our folders out and see what we need.
