Coinbuf - thank you, your guidance was great and my situation was exactly what you described. My eligible coins have since been transferred to a competitive set. Part of my confusion was that I have a lot of U.S. Mint proof sets, uncirculated sets and uncirculated (non-NCG) coins which are not, "competitive." My story: My Dad was a huge collector, collected many various coins, passed and then passed them to me - I am now just taking this set over (and am not wanting to simply go to a, "coin dealer" to value or sell them). An unfortunate side to, "my story:" When the State Quarters program first started, my Dad FULLY bought into the fact that this would be a grand investment/venture. Unfortunately, as you know, this was not the case - I have several, several dozens of U.S. Mint wrapped/packaged State Quarters. What are your thoughts on those? Should I just hold them, pass them to my children, and hope they will have value for them or their children? Or, will they likely never have true-value increase and find an outlet to sell them now (they do take quite a bit of space in my collection? Thanks again ~ Craig

I appreciate your guidance - so (just to make sure), there is no, "easy way" to, "move" my custom sets to a competitive set - one by one add only, right?

Hello to all. I created my (very large) coin set as a Custom Set (maybe a newbie mistake); of course this took a long time to do so. Is there an easy way to convert my Custom Set to a Competitive Set (so that I can see what, "interest" level my set would bring)? Of course, I am trying to do this without having to re-enter hundreds of coins... Any insight or help would be appreciated - thanks much!

Agreed, thank you. With having several, several dozens U.S. Mint wrapped/sealed state quarter rolls, I will remain skeptically hopeful.

Thanks so much for the advice. In your opinion or experience, do uncirculated/unopened U.S. Mint coins (generally) grade at a certain level (or is there no way to tell/know)? With your input, I will not be spending the cash to grade a state quarter. I was hoping for some good news on state quarters - my Dad had passed down several, several U.S. Mint boxes containing state quarters. I will likely just hold onto them and pass them down to future generations in hope that something will happen to make them valuable enough to take action. Thanks again.

I have several unopened, uncirculated (a.k.a. U.S. Mint sealed) state quarters. There are some online sources (Youtube - JB Coins) that state there are some state quarters (e.g. 2003 Missouri "P") that can be valuable in higher MS condition. My question, with my unopened, direct from the U.S. Mint rolls, would it be worthwhile to send these to have graded? If they are unopened & sealed directly from the U.S. Mint, should they not grade fairly high?
