America the Beautiful

Despite being in circulation for two years, I have yet to find even one America the Beautiful quarter in my pocket change. Are people hoarding this to the extent that they are so rare in circulation??

I find them so maybe you just having bad luck.

 

I find them but no where near as frequently as the state quarters. I think it is simply a matter of lower mintage and poor distribution. TC

 

I find them but yeah, the State Quarters still dominate, primarily the D minted ones and it seems mostly 1999 - 2005 in my area is what I mostly get in my change.

 

I have found 1 in circulation myself.
The mintages for all five ATBs each year are less than half of the mintage of 1 of the average state quarters.
Maybe this series will be something my great-grandchildren will like to have!

 

I just received one of many since their release, just the other day from a soda machine.

The machine spit out the 2011 Olympic National Park, in pretty good shape too.

 

I scored a bankroll of glacier quarters from philly last fall
Beyond that a single mt hood lol

 

Here in New Hampshire I am finding quite a few of these when I go through my coins at work. If you would like to trade for some send me a pm.

 

Yes far and few between for me too; only a few. At this rate is going to take me a very long time to fill my coin album from circulation.

No ATB, and there are still three Territory quarters I haven't seen yet.

 

I live in NH too and find them in my change all the time.

 

Since I started looking last year, I have found a total of two fulls rolls worth and a couple extra. Found at least 3 or so of each of the 10's and 11's in D mints.

 

See them every day in change here in Texas.

 

Found quite a few, but around here we always seem to get the new issues : Guam, Mariana Islands, log cabins ect

 

Seeing them frequently in South Florida. They started really hitting the stores a few months ago.

 

I have seen plenty of Vicksburg but the others have averaged maybe 1-2 of each a week. No 2012's yet, but I have multiple BU examples of all the others. I have been finding them 2-3 months after release ever since the Hot Springs came out. I'm currently working on three sets (me and two sisters).
If you'd like some, PM me and I can send you a few.

 

I'm fortunate enough to be able to go through the change from our guest laundry washer and dryer. That is they only way I've found the ones I have, but even then, I've only come across about 20 in total since their release. Of the twenty, only one had been a Denver Mint.

 

I see them out where I'm at, all Denvers. Only two of the 2012 so far, though. I do some CRHing, so my volume would be more than normal.

 

I need to find someone to trade my phillys with that finds a lot of denvers.

 

Living in Houston, so far I've seen a grand total of one.
