When to start searching for W quarter?

Yeah I'm only doing 2 halves 2 quarters and 2 cents. Nothing major. Not trying to piss them off.

Is Vystar a credit union?
I've had pretty bad luck getting coins from a credit union, they don't want to do it, any credit union I've tried. They have the coin counting machine, and they have no issue taking coins with no fees for members, but when it comes to ordering they don't want to do it.
I've been tempted to ask for a bag of pennies or nickels out of their coin machine when the bag is full, but I haven't tried it yet to see what happens.

From what I know talking to people at the credit union, they take those bags of coins and send them with their armored carrier to count and roll, and that they make a percentage off of non-members, but otherwise its a free service for members. They order change for their business account holders, but won't do it for regular account holders without a fee unless it's just a couple roils here or there.

I think you might be able to buy a bag off their counting machine, but where do you dump them after you are done because they won't want you dumping there again if they let you buy filled bags from the machine. Ideally you need another place not that credit union with a free coin counter....

 

Has a value been placed on these W quarters?

Seems fewer and fewer banks are getting new mint rolls. My bank doesn't and my mum's bank doesn't either

 

This thread is totally off message. Original message was about W minted quarters (without completely explaining what that is) to bank fees for getting coin roles from them. How did we get to that? We all know banks are in the business of being mercenary. I’d like to know more about the “w” quarter.

 

Search the forum here. There are plenty of threads about it. If that fails, google is your friend.

 

W stands for "why why why is the mint making this crap?"

 

I found an AMP (Marina) in change (mentioned in another string "strangest coin you've received in change"). Purchased a WTP (Guam) off eBay. The end coin in a bank roll and the son of a friend found a Lowell in change at summer camp in Florida that he's sending me. And no not for $0.25, it is costing me much more.
Read somewhere in another thread last week, that two San Antonio's were discovered and graded by PCGS, before the official release date of 8/26/2019 with a special label for being pre-released. Some controversy and conspiracy theory that it was staged. They represent a whopping population of "2".

In the hunt, many of the banks I've visited simply won't sell me rolls unless I have an account. My bank sent a memo to all their branch's not to order boxes from the treasury for customers as the non-W quarters are coming back by the 1000's for re-rolling and it's putting too much demand on their machines. Makes you wonder what the Bank does today except collect fees.

All that said, I would suggest the earlier you start looking the better. A very short time in circulation makes AU the most likely condition or grade. Still it will be nice to have all 5 quarters from West Point.

 

...aaand let the search begin

 

So what do you want to know? The mint this year minted a total of 10 million state park quarters with a W mint mark at the West Point Mint. They minted 2 million of each of the 5 designs released this year. Those W quarters were distributed in new rolls starting with the American Memorial Park P and D mint mark quarter release. People are looking for them.

The OPs question was "when to start looking for the latest design". That question was answered early on and it's gone off on a tangent slightly but it's still on topic since when to look is just a part of the hunt, banks being difficult is yet another.

Now, do you have a specific question about the W quarters you'd like answered that relates to W quarter hunting?

 

I think you found Beaker!

 

HI Brina, older raw, ungraded W mintmark coins are selling on Ebay for $10-$15 each. The newset releases can get towards $100 each in the first week but drop off as more and more are founder and put up for sale. I'd say they all eventually settle around $8-$10 raw, ungraded when theyve all been released and had some time.

As far as graded examples seems like MS65 is selling around $30-40 each. MS66 $45-$70 MS67 $80-$150. I don't think they will stay like that though as more are graded and available they will likely get cheaper.
Time will tell on that.

Banks do get them but they don't have an option to request them anymore. That ended with the state quarters. They have to take what the armored carriers deliver now with the state parks. They can't request the new design like they used to be able to is all it is. It's random what is delivered to the banks by the armored carriers.

 

TY of the 411

 

you funny guy...

 

good news, found 1 AMP W quarter today in a box! no san antonio missions quarters though :/

 

Congrats tmansell415. I managed 1 W American Meomorial Park out of 60 rolls of circulated/customer wrapped also so far this week, a half dozen mixed foreigns mostly caribbean coins, and a nice 2018 voyageurs rim cud on the obverse.

 

I think the W's are peaking in my area right now I've found 3 just in the past 2 weeks.

 

I received my first W (an AMP) in a Brinks roll of mixed circulated.

 

Congrats Steve63 and Andrew Blum!

Ws for the win!

 

Here is mine....

 

I think everybody should post pics of their W quarters.
