I finally found a West Point quarter in circulation and circulated well. How long was it for you to find one in circulation if you've found one? I honestly thought i'd have found on sooner because I work with alot of change.
I have never found one "in circulation" but I did find a lot from searching boxes. Congrats on finding your first!
Congrats! I guess it took me several months. I think it depends on how often and where you're searching. What type of searching you're doing, ie; boxes from the bank, pocket change...etc.. I know someone who can add value to your question........@furryfrog02 EDIT: Oooops, there he is. That was fast!!
It took you a few months because I was busy sucking them all up with a vacuum lol. Glad you finally got them though.
Hi everybodyI just joined! I have a question, the picture was of a Mariana Islands quarter, I found a few of them are they worth anything? Worth saving? I am new to the hobby, just learning. Glad to be here.
The West Point mint mark ones are definatly worth saving the others personally I spend but hey coin collecting is up to the collector keep what you like.
Hi, and welcome to CT. Lots and lots of very knowledgeable people here, so feel free to ask questions and post pictures as you grow in our wonderful hobby. To your questions: There were 37,600,000 Marianas quarters produced at the Denver mint, and 35,200,000 at the Philadelphia mint. In addition, a number of business strikes were produced at the San Francisco mint to be included in numismatic items sold by the U.S. mint, such as rolls and bags of uncirculated quarters. In order to stimulate interest in coin collecting, the Mint also struck 2,000,000 quarters at West Point in New York and included them in bags and rolls that were distributed to banks all over the country. The original poster found a quarter with a "W" mintmark (struck at West Point), and since there are only 2 million of them, it's kind of exciting to find one. So I guess I'm trying to say that the quarters with the "D" and "P" mintmarks are quite common and usually worth only face value. "S" mintmarked quarters are rarer, and "W" mintmarked ones are the least common. Selling for between $10-$25 on Ebay. "W" quarters were struck for all of the 2019 America the Beautiful quarter series, so there are 5 different ones out there. If you like the ones you have, by all means keep and enjoy them. And keep your eyes open for the "W" mint marked ones. Good luck!!!
I found my 1st last weekend and it's in much worse condition than the OP's. I'm considering just spending it even though it is my first. It is the American Memorial Park too.
I got lucky. After reading about them here a few weeks back (furry may have just closed out completing a set) I found one in my change. Even blind squirrels find nuts...
First, welcome to the neighborhood! Zebmonster pretty much summed up what you should expect for these quarters. I'd only like to add that most of the P&D business strikes that you find in circulation are only worth face value. Uncirculated business strikes would have to grade MS68 or higher to be worthwhile. ~ Chris
