    Curious what grade this V75 marsh billings quarter would grade and the value as is without grading.

    It has seen some circulation. I don't think I'd give it higher than a 64. They sell raw for $10-$20 depending on the buyer. When I had a lot, I averaged about $14/coin.

    thank you. I didn’t think it would grade over 62 in its condition with the wear marks on the high spots and the couple of cuts.

    Looking at the sold listings on eBay for the last few days. They are selling between a low of $15.51 (plus shipping) to a high of $41 (free shipping). For some unknown reason the Marsh Billings W gets higher prices then the other designs for that year.
    I agree with @furryfrog02 that $15 to $20 would be a sellable price, for one in the condition that your coin is in.

    Full disclosure, I'm terrible at grading coins. :)

    I'm not sure why it sells for so much. It is one of the more boring designs IMO.

    I agree! I don't know why the 2019 AMP quarter from the year before took off either. My favorite was the San Antonio Missions.
    The 2020 Bat Quarter is my favorite of them all though.

    I like the salt river bay the best,trolling through the mangroves is fun.We would always catch monster snook and tarpon,even by fly fishing sometimes.

    I'm seeing it as AU55-58.
    Value? I'll leave that to the others who've responded.

    I agree. I'm not good at grading, but I still don't understand how a circulated coin can get an MS rating.

    I agree with @masterswimmer on this. Probably in the AU range and it would cost you more than you could realize to have it graded. JMHO

    Because it's not about favorites. I spent the time looking at the ebay listings on more than one occasion. MBR and AMP Ws are posted for sale on there far less than the other 8 designs of Ws from 2019-2020.
    Less to go around, more fighting and higher prices for what's available.

    Yes, each design was 2 million coins, but for whatever the reason, the MBR and AMP have a tenth to a quarter of the listing on there than the other designs do at any given time. And it's not just ebay, ebay is just the easiest to see. Other marketplaces have less of those two on a day to day than the other 8 designs available for purchase also.
    But when you factor in "nice BU examples" as opposed to circulated ones, they become few and far between.

    Must be something to it and not just random at this point.

    I seem to remember someone stating that on one release the population was not diluted as it should have been, and many rolls had more than their fair share.

    it happened in 2019 and 2020, the first W was delayed causing both Ws to drop in the 2nd design release, in 2019 it was during the AMP release, Lowell came in the AMP rolls, and in 2020 it was during the Weir Farm, the American Samoa W came in the Weir Rolls. they were doing two drops per release and dropped all of the one design in the first half and then all of the 2nd design in the 2nd half of AMP and Weir causing heavy W rolls for those 4 designs, Lowell, AMP, American Samoa, and Weir Farm, half the time and product to distribute the 2 million Ws of each.

    It doesn't really explain the MBR price though although in circulated, it's not selling much higher than any other design, Not like AMP is.

    for whatever the reason theres 250-300+ of each design on ebay pretty consistently,except for American Memorial Park and Marsh Billings Rockefeller which is usually at 70 or less at any given time, most of which are graded, or circulated and ungraded. When you take out certified, it goes to 35, if you add uncirculated only it goes to 18, and then if you visually sort from there for the best looking ones, most are lightly circulated with a nice one people bid up, well they bid up all of them really, but the nice looking ones go higher.

    I believe economic situations played a roll here, and the distribution got buried of those designs at the coin distribution hubs, them not rotating or something, and a decent amount of them still sitting on the shelves in boxes or the pallet still waiting to go out, maybe the shipments partially went to lower demand areas and are sitting, not sure, but seems like the 2 million supply didn't all get out there for some reason on those two.

    @John Burgess Thanks for the feedback. I have one of the 2020 W V75 American Samoa. That is my only find. But I don't spend as much time at it as others do.

    yeah I got cut off in 2020, and still cut off now. it is what it is I suppose. at some point things will normalize and I can roll hunt again. I would have hunted like a madman through 2020 like I did in 2019 had the banks allowed me to. overall, though my hunts from 2019, average 1 W per box, with a lot of misses and a couple bigger hits or individual rolls that were BU I picked up. but yeah overall, probably 50 boxes searched and 50 Ws total. odds probably much worse now than in 2019 or 2020 to find a W, and odds now pretty high the coins will be marked up and not BU.

    I had mentioned in one of my posts that I live in the country with small banks and I didn't know anyone in the area that had gotten a W quarter. I had a PM that they wanted to send me some because they had gotten quite a few. A few days later, I got 1 of each of the 2020 W Quarters. You guys are terrific and I appreciate all the entries you posts.

    The value is already there. I would keep it, seal it, and enjoy it. AU in my opinion also. Thanks for sharing it.

    Indeed...think it's the W plus the privy mark...plus things just seem to snow-ball before anyone really knows or stops to ask, "why?"

    yes, I'm with Mr.Q, The wear on Washington's hair in the ear area,and hits on the neck should keep it out of MS, but it might come in at low MS if it hasn't affected the luster much.

    not the best pictures, these were out of a MBR P roll of quarters I got from the local casino cashier cage July of 2021. they cut me off with the "coin shortage" also just like the banks, since then though..... Most people turn in change, not ask for a roll of coin, so they have coin that's been sitting around a while, I've scored BU rolls on a few occasions there. of those 5, bottom right was the best of them, top left the worst of them.
