    I have not been finding any US Territory Quarters in my change at all. Last fall, I got a few in change but now nothing. I know the mintages are relatively small but who is hoarding these quarters? Two of the Territory Quarters I have never seen at all. Also, the pennies with the new designs are scarce in circulation. Are they also being hoarded?

  3. I am not sure if it hoarding but more of a distribution issue. TC

    Same with me. I have only ran into a DC and Guam both D's. When people hear low mintage they automatically hoard as many as they can get. Either way it takes a while for more current coins to get into general circulation.

    I have found all the territories in circulation -- but only D, not a single P (here in Texas)

    Here near Erie PA I have found no Territories quarters at all.

    I just went ahead and got all of them uncirc'd from Littleton. Each set was around $5, so I ended up getting five sets. Prior to that I had only found (1) in circulation.

    Quarters

    Sadly, it looks like I also might have to buy them from Littleton. The fun is in getting them from circulation though. Living in New York City, we never get a "D" from circulation. Eventually they will get circulated but they'll be in AU circulation. I got all the "P" state quarters from circulation but they had much larger mintages. The commemorative Lincoln cents I only got 2 of all of 2009 !

    I am still seeing them in circulation. Not loads, but enough that I hadn't thought about it.

    I just started putting together an entire state quarter book for with my girls, and we have found all the territory quarters in P, but no all in D yet. I am in the DC area though.

    I agree, but after a while the need to fill the hole is greater than the circulation hunt IMO.

    Nothing yet by me, but I did get Guam & PR from the Philly mint & Fed reserve.

    Instead of buying them from Littleton and paying extreme premiums, try trading with members of cointalk in the Open forum. I had found all of the D's in Texas and traded for the P's. Works great!
