I'm selling my US Mint state quarter rolls as seen below. Illinois is getting the biggest hits. What gives? Because this is Lincoln's bicentennial year and he's at the forefront of collector's thoughts? I'd have thought that the Indiana and Maine coins would be the biggest hits. Weird.

After a long day of watching the corn grow, the Illiani sit down at the putor and google ILLINOIANS, bingo, they find your Statehood Quarters.

There are two basic reasons: Hot Button Terminology

 

1). 100th Anniversary of Lincoln Cent, Abe’s home state.

 

2). Illinois happens to be the Presidents home state.

Same answer as I gave for the high Hawaii quarters. They just like the TN quarters and elvis, they need them for putting Obama stickers on. :)
