Popular Post Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted November 19, 2020 Popular Post Share #1 Posted November 19, 2020 Has been solved. Everyone remember when the US Mint started issuing state designed quarters? They’re everywhere now and worth the same $0.25 they were worth when they were issued. Back then, my Dad thought it would be great for all the grandkids to have a set of state quarters so he started acquiring them at the credit union when the new states were issued. I don’t think any of the grandkids still have a set of state quarters but over the years Dad accumulated a big collection. I’m not talking about those books that held two quarters for each mint and state issued, I’m talking a gallon sized bucket filled with quarters. When Mom moved into assisted living and we cleaned out the apartment, the bucket of quarters could not be found. Mom blamed someone fir taking them and said that they didn’t understand the value. They’re state quarters. They’re worth something. Yeah mom they’re worth $0.25 each. Anyway, I got a call today from a friend of Mom’s who was trying to reach her and couldn’t. She explained that years ago Mom gave her a heavy Louis Vuitton bag for safekeeping. She was calling to see if Mom wanted it back since it had been years. So after work today I’m going to pick up the bucket of quarters and a Louis Vuitton bag. I’ll deposit the quarters into Mom’s credit union account and see if one of my sisters wants an uppity bag. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerrySTL ★ Posted November 19, 2020 Share #13 Posted November 19, 2020 Some 2019 and 2020 quarters are worth much more than 25 cents. Last time I checked they were going for over $10 each. They have a W ( for West Point) mint mark. The US Mint released about a million of them each year which is a tiny fraction of the quarters minted.

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share #14 Posted November 20, 2020 I was wrong, it wasn’t the bucket of quarters I thought, but it was coin. The LV bag is duffel size. Weighed about 50 lbs. Rolled quarters alone was $380. She has baggies of coin. Foreign from trips to Europe, preEU. Francs, lira, Greek coins, whatever they’re called. Silver dollars, silver quarters, half dollars, wheat pennies, even a few from Chuck E Cheese. Go grandma! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Further Posted November 20, 2020 Share #15 Posted November 20, 2020 So there is still a bucket of high dollar quarters hidden somewhere.... We need the Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew to help track it down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted November 20, 2020 Share #16 Posted November 20, 2020 Why yes, I do remember them. I got my Dad's when we cleaned out the house. He even had a little envelope with it containing the DC quarter, for good measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
