I am nearly complete collecting all 50 state quarters with this year and next year still to go but i didn't know if their was any value in collecting all 50 from one mint and all 50 from the other mint (other than the fact I would have $25 in quarters).

BD in NM is correct. If you had collected all that was available, that is the P,D, S proof and the silver proofs, with the P & D being in nice mint state you would have a nice investment as well as a nice collection. If you enjoyed collecting them, then you have already received payment. I have found over the years that I have done quite well as to the value of the coins I have collected. I think the reason is, that I collected what I liked and could afford and after that, never looked to see if they went up or not. I just enjoyed the history I had in my hands. I went for the challange of actually completeing sets, then branched out into world coins and medals, as well as ancients. By the was, it is not that easy to put a state quarter set together from change and is actually a challange. Won't be worth much, but it is a challange.

A collection of all fifty states in circulated condition will probably not have a whole lot of value beyond face value for quite a while because of the number of people who have collected them. A complete set of coins in high grade uncirculated and or proof condition will have a better chance of appreciating in value in the near future.
Part of the fun of the hobby is "filling the holes". If collecting the state quarters is something you have enjoyed you could look at collecting earlier Washington quarters or look some of the other series.
Have fun.

Yes there is a long term value to collecting both minted state coins. Here is the web site that I found.

They'll each be worth 25 cents in the future. They will most likely only be "valuable" to major collectors until they become antiques then they will be valuable to antique stores but you'll still probably not get much more for them then than you will now.
They're not rare and they're easy to find, so their commonness lowers the chance of any outstanding value on them.

Very long term, they might have some value. If you've been collecting the mint and proof sets from the US mint, they have appreciated in value already.

actually you would have $12.50, but thats beside the point. they'll be valuable in about a hundred years or so
