USAFANG Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Why is the Tennesse State Quarter so popular to collect? I don't think it has anything to do with quanties minted because so far Maine has the lowest mintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stujoe Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 50,000,000 Elvis fans? Actually, I don't know. As you say it is not the lowest mintage. Has to be either more demand, those who have them are not giving them up, or less of them were saved in the first place, I would imagine. Not sure of the specifics but that is usually the way the marlet works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USAFANG Posted September 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 I ask this question to coin dealer and this was their take: Dear Matt, Thank you for your resent email. The Tennessee quarter with the P mint mark did not have as many minted as some of the other state quarters so it made it more valuable because of a lower mintage. I hope this is helpful. Thanks again for thinking of x Coin Company. But this mintage is still high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stujoe Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Odd that he would say that as the D mint had quite a lower mintage than the P mint but the P sells for quite a bit more than the D it appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 "P" for "Presley" makes it more popular? Who knows? I for one, don't really care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 50,000,000 Elvis fans? From what I've heard and seen your not far off. The Tenn quarter has been used by the millions for Elvis items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 I've been checking around and found a dealer that says the UNC Rolls and Bags of Tenneesse quarters have been bought up by the millions for future Elvis promotional Souvenirs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBobo Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Maybe a lot of the quarters are being horded by Tennessee Jed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 this is my oppinion of the state quarters.....there are NO state quarters out there nor will there ever be any which will ever be RARE...they are pumping these stinkin things out faster then you could ever imagine....with mintages in the half billions or more for each quarter how are they ever going to be rare???? the maine quarters have a total mintage of 448,800,000 coins.... just some calculations... 1 state quarter is .0689in thick if you stacked all the maine quarters produced on top of each other..your stack would be 858,953 yards tall.....that's over 488 Miles!!!! that's outer space!! compaired to lets say the 1909 S VDB with a production of 484,000 with a thickness of .05in your stack would be 614.68 meters tall that's .38 of a mile.....just to put things in prespective....

syzygy Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 .....there are NO state quarters out there nor will there ever be any which will ever be RARE... I don't know... this one Quad Struck or this one Mass over Georgia might be a tad on the rare side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 ok, ok, ok....fine let me amend my statement....there are no regular production quarters that will be rare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USAFANG Posted September 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 ok, ok, ok....fine let me amend my statement....there are no regular production quarters that will be rare You probably have a point because those coins that were minted to commemorate 1776-1976 coins aren't worth much either. I don't see that many around in pocket change so I quess people them away just for a novelty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 I have a feeling that they are going to be like the steel cents made in 1943... I get at least 5 calls a week here at the shop asking if they are millionaires cause they have a "silver cent" The thing is everyone hung on to them because they were different....just like these quarters....I had a lady last week bring me a 4 gallon jug full of steel cents...

Dockwalliper Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Do you think this will have an effect on the value of the Kansas P quarters? Who will be the first one to find a burnt Kansas Quarter? http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/09/14/quarters.fire.ap/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gxseries Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Somebody could make their own and how would could you tell the difference? Easy, like PCGS genuinely certified coins Like how the 9/11 slabbed coins appeared. It's going to be some hard scam coming up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I want one of those "PCGS Katrina Hurricane" coins. Those banks vaults flooded so the coins have to be worth something.........right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
