I simply can’t fathom where all the circulation-made quarters have gone? s the mint or the Fed. reserve Banks hoarding them in the same manner as they’ve hoarded the Half Dollars?

If you think this is bad, just wait until the mint releases the numismatic version in a few weeks. I stopped buying from them nearly 10 years ago when I couldn’t get any of the Buffalo dollars – and they supposedly made half a million of them! With only 27,000 of these, do you really think you’re going to be one of the “lucky ones”?
BTW the mint seems to have done just fine without me. So go ahead – boycott. They won’t even notice.

USMINT is directed by someone who looks like an illegal immigrant to me… and they are doing a quality of work only an immigrant would perform

US Mint: What’s with the 1 retailer out of 11? What a Joke. And the one retailer gouges the shit out of everyone. Where is the competition? Talk about market corner. And what is the sense anyhow selling a collectible to a bank? Everyone should just not buy them and let the banks sit on them since they have the most. Useless.

what a bunch of whiners!!! heh! here’s a thought maybe the goverment should step in at the grocery store and decide what kind of profit margin they should be making on groceries or come to all our places of employment and decide how much we all get paid.as greedy as the free market is. its still much better than the alternative.

I Think I Just Wait For the proof, My Prediction For This Mamayama So called Quarters, is: Well first let me see if Levi’s will Make Gigantic Pockets in the new jeans. Ok they said NO Gigantic Pockets. So this Quarters will have a Short Life, Unless they Make a Penny the zise of a watermelon, to match it up, may be then there will be more Interest by all of us.

You Can Have the Bullion For $500 or $10000 ea W/E , Just remember what Happens to Bubbles ( The Pop) soon or later and you will end up with Just 5-ounces of silver.

This will be a very expensive series to collect even without the high secondary markups, basically $1000 per year at current silver prices. heck at that price level one can build a half ounce gold collection. Secondary market prices may be over predicting the eventual premium carried by these coins if it is based on “series completion”.

I already see them listed for “pre-sale” on eBay from someone “out West”. THe going price is nearly $500!! Can’t call it price gouging, but there are idiots actually bidding them up that high. Wow! At $100 an oz. I bet they feel good too…
