Coin and Paper Money Collecting/quarters

Question
Mr. Hylas,
My father-in-law passed away and he had collected many rolls of uncirculated state quarters. We have no interest in continuing the collection and would like to determine the value and how best to sell them. Any advice would be appreciated.
thanks

Answer
Hi Tony,
The series is really too new to have appreciated much.  Personally I don't even stock them anymore since they just tie up working capital.
You can try putting them on eBay but the shipping is expensive and the fees will probably eat up any value over the face value.
Unless they are silver or proof coins, I would just take them to the bank and be done with it.
