Perhaps. But I have 28 now.

The state quarters can't be too dead since I sold my set on ebay for a
good price.

(set = 4 of each state, P mint, D mint, S mint proof and S mint silver
proof, issued 1999 - 2003) I sent the dansco book but no 2004 quarters



They are not dead to serious and semi-serious collectors. The general public
that got caught up in the initial hoopla are pretty much gone on to other
trendy pop culture things.

The same is happening with Euro collecting.

Yep. That's me!

My Euro collecting is on hold (which is what I started collecting to get
back into the hobby) and I'm now concentrating on the pop-culture-trendy
US Type Set and Classic US Commems Set. (Or I would be if I had any
dough).

Yep, the "novelty" effect has worn off. On the other hand, think of that
new Finnish ¤2 commemorative: First the Finnish Mint had planned to
issue 500,000 pieces (plus the proof issues). Now the mintage will be
upped to 1 million, due to the demand.

Such specialties will probably continue to be sought after. But the
young collectors who just wanted to have the 96 different coins will
have "completed" their collections. The smaller kids need to invest in
scoubidou instead g.

What is different about the SQs is that you cannot have a complete
collection yet, of course. But still, the hype is gone ...

I lost my New York contact so I am only saving D rolls now and they are getting harder and
harder to get from the banks as each issue goes by. I am still saving rolls of each new
issue however and I will continue to get them as long as I can reasonably do so.
