Date: January 11th, 2026 10:28 AM Author: diverse internet-worthy meetinghouse My grandma used to collect these and lived where they had the Philadelphia mint and she wanted two books and asked I provide my local ones that were minted in Denver. It used to be such a hassle but I did it anyway and she used to send me quarters and I'd just not put them in the books she gave me. Anyway, she passed away more than a decade ago and going thru an old box recently I found all our letters where she used to write me and tell me about her day, what she did, what other people were up to in the family, etc. I don't have a completed book of those silly quarters but I am grateful it created a fond memory with my grandma plus I'm gay so I probably shoved the quarters up my ass.

Date: January 11th, 2026 11:21 AM Author: bossy trailer park nibblets All coins and paper money is a scam. You have to get out of physical coin and into the banking system to buy assets or real estate or physical gold and physical silver. If just 100,000,000 grandmas, autists, nerds, and emotional invalids took those quarters out of circulation just to hold in collectors books that’s like an interest free loan to the government of $2,500,000,000. $2.5 billion! And remember some grandmas made more than one set. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5820680&forum_id=2).#49580698) |

You should be able to tally up all of the physical cash and coin you have on your person and get 10% tax credit for the total amount that you hold. But do you? No way, Jose. Only schmucks have physical coin or cash in their possession. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5820680&forum_id=2).#49580725) |

Date: January 11th, 2026 11:59 AM Author: bossy trailer park nibblets Cash can be useful for some things and it's nice to have that option, but $50,000 is way too much in my opinion. That would take you over a week just to deposit into a bank you do realize? If you've got rolls and rolls of old quarters and nickels and dimes and shit then you should probably get rid of those asap as they have almost no utility, take up space, and are losing value in inflation everyday. Physical gold/silver is not the same as cash/clad coin so that's fine. |

My rolls of quarters & dimes have done quite well this past year. |

Date: January 11th, 2026 3:17 PM Author: bossy trailer park nibblets Your rolls are 90% silver and you are keeping them as a form of physical silver, my friend. Clad dimes, quarters, and nickels haven't done so well. They've declined in value by about 10% or whatever the rate of inflation is.

I think I know what you're trying to say here, but this statement is not true.
There's a difference between "state quarters" and, e.g., seated dollars, educational notes, 16th century talers, or messana tetradrachms.
And a "collector's book" of a complete set of something like half dimes would be both impressive and a decent investment. |
|
Date: January 11th, 2026 3:20 PM Author: bossy trailer park nibblets Half dimes were struck between 1792 and 1873. I doubt that any of us here has ever received one in change or whatever. These pieces are scarce relative to the modern coin supply and can only be found in collector circles. It's an entirely different thing. Same for Seated Dollars, educational notes, 16th century talers have always been collectibles, and messana tetradrachms are extraordinary silver coins from 2500 years ago that have somehow survived.

Date: January 11th, 2026 3:33 PM Author: passionate range indirect expression I do wish I could have convinced my parents to buy an 1802 half dime when I was a kid and they were only around $30k.
There are far more ancient coins surviving than medieval. Their output was huge. (Surely you must have at least a couple ancients... I have a messana tet & litra because I like the design & have house rabbits.) |

Date: January 11th, 2026 5:00 PM Author: passionate range indirect expression I missed that until now.
I really don't know much about the 20th century outside of physics & Feynman's stories about the Manhattan Project. It's something I should learn about when I have time. (I do have an Edward VIII medal, but only because I can't afford any of his pattern coinage.) |
