<p>[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7647760, member: 105098"]Just going to say, from my perspective, if you didn't find any, you weren't really looking for them very hard, there was 1.651 billion quarters minted in 2019, and 1.116 billion minted in 2020. Of those, 10 million 2019 Ws and 10 million 2020 Ws.</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn't look too hard compared to others, searching around $500-$750 a week in quarters and still managed to get 3 designs. If you expected them to turn up regularly in your pocket change, or be easier after the fresh rolls all entered circulation, I don't know what to tell you besides it was a bad bet. The mintage was less than 1% of the total mintage for either year and once they entered the pool of circulated and every other year hanging around still, it becomes a needle in a haystack.</p><p><br /></p><p>It wasn't easy for me to find what I did manage to find, I worked for it. Sure you might happen upon a W by luck, but not if you continued using your debit card and not getting change back regularly hoping to randomly happen upon one by devine intervention.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that anyone that has been hunting quarters in 2019 or 2020 did find what they were looking for, maybe not all of the designs, but at least one, or some depending on how hard they were looking and not giving up until they did find at least one.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is what it is, I'm not bitter that I didn't get at least one of each design with a W on it, I will get there eventually if I keep looking and keep spending cash and taking change instead of using it so I don't get any, the reality is one in 16 people will find one randomly, and only if they are looking for it, and only 2 million people can have a complete set of 10 regardless of condition but that leaves out a whole lot of people from having just 1W if there's 2 million trying to get a complete set.</p><p><br /></p><p>Meanwhile, there's wear and attrition already taking it's toll on the mintage numbers and more coins being produced each year. you couldn't go to the bank and set aside full rolls of Ws, These's aren't bicentennial quarters. I don't expect the prices to ever go down unless folks just flat out lose interest in them completely. it might stay where it is for a while, but attrition and wear will have their effects.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also going to say 1955S lincoln cent was 44.6 million mintage, and 1954 71.6 million mintage.

The mintage was less than 1% of the total mintage for either year and once they entered the pool of circulated and every other year hanging around still, it becomes a needle in a haystack. It wasn't easy for me to find what I did manage to find, I worked for it. Sure you might happen upon a W by luck, but not if you continued using your debit card and not getting change back regularly hoping to randomly happen upon one by devine intervention. I know that anyone that has been hunting quarters in 2019 or 2020 did find what they were looking for, maybe not all of the designs, but at least one, or some depending on how hard they were looking and not giving up until they did find at least one. It is what it is, I'm not bitter that I didn't get at least one of each design with a W on it, I will get there eventually if I keep looking and keep spending cash and taking change instead of using it so I don't get any, the reality is one in 16 people will find one randomly, and only if they are looking for it, and only 2 million people can have a complete set of 10 regardless of condition but that leaves out a whole lot of people from having just 1W if there's 2 million trying to get a complete set. Meanwhile, there's wear and attrition already taking it's toll on the mintage numbers and more coins being produced each year. you couldn't go to the bank and set aside full rolls of Ws, These's aren't bicentennial quarters.
