Yup. Father in-law had this quarter collection. For whatever reason he spent decades collections quarters from each of the states and had well over $500 worth of quarters. None of us wanted his quarters. He was able to sell them at 3 quarters per dollar, a 25% profit!

That's a 33% profit. Anyhow, considering inflation, he still lost money.

Most hobbies cost money and have almost zero return.

Depending on the age their might have been more value to collectors. Some coins contain far more than face value worth of metal

Anything new enough to be part of a "state quarters" collection isn't going to be old enough to have that much silver.
