Rapidly Deteriorating 2019-W Washington Quarters

No chance that most of them will be saved and never circulate. You're talking about coins with a mintage of 2 million all released into circulation when there are literally billions of quarters in the mix. The majority of the country doesn't know about or doesn't care about these, foreign visitors have no clue about them or don't care, and even among collectors a significant portion of them feel moderns aren't worth collecting and don't care about them.

There's designs with 100 mil+ mintage that are hard to find a decent one searching for it in circulation. Easily 70% of these will get mangled up and really it's more like 90% if not higher. There is a lot of luck involved for one to end up with someone looking for it right away for it to be saved in a decent to nice condition.

Thanks, man! It has exactly 2 marks on it, both on the reverse, evident in the 3rd pic, I think. I think if she were a Morgan I'd give her a 66 or so, but it'll probably go a grade lower.
