    In my painstaking search for the new 250 year semiquincentennial privy marked quarter I came across these few keepers.

    Spoiler: None of the keepers were the target of my search :(

    My helper is Pinot. Glued to my hip. My travel companion.

    Found a couple of circulating proof quarters.

    The 1978-S is a cameo. The reverse is a lot better condition than the obverse.

    This 2019-S Lowell, MA isn't in great condition, but its found a home here.

    And then there's this juke box quarter. Not necessarily a keeper, but for the exorbitant price of 25 cents, I think it's worth it for the novelty.

    I have gone to several banks around my area in Maine and no one has any new quarters. The tellers tell me lots of people are asking about them. It nearly drives me mad seeing how expensive the privy marked quarters are going for. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to find one in circulation.

    Nice finds. Pinot is cute! Call the doggie, A "Simplistic security team member". They look cute but their bite is ferocious. Our dog is the mailman, FedEx and UPS alert system. He goes crazy when they "fly" by our house. :eek:

    Not a single bank has seen the new quarters in my area. I had to buy them along with the dines, nickels and halves at a higher price than they should be. I don’t buy from the mint but they are out of stock when they send a text to buy them. Ridiculous!!!

    Yeah... I was blown away when a guy pulled 120 out of two boxes. If he sold them for $400 a piece, that would be $48,000.

    815?!!! :dead: I suppose I will end up buying one in a year when the price settles! If the mint mixed them up like this, I am guessing I will never see one in the wild. Wow.

    Chances of finding one in change is zero if you never use cash,

    Not if you find them in a CoinStar or a self-checkout return slot. Or steal them from someone else's change.

    There are only 250,000 so we better act fast.
