Can't get new rolls in my area so I am pretty much out of the hunt. But MS-65 is awesome!

Congrats on the MS65, I was thinking 63 or 64 myself.

Now, I saw on PCGS, they are giving $2K for the first American Memorial park and will have a reward for each W mintmark quarter for the first find.

GET TO WORK! Time to hit some more gas stations!

The people I've talked to at PCGS think that mine could bring in 5k right now.


A couple grand seems like a reasonable estimate to me. I actually wouldn't be surprised if the other one was more like 10k.

It's not the exact same but the family who bought the very first baseball coins for sale was offered 5 figures for them. The first gold kennedy sold at least once for 5 figures and then ended up with a collector for a 100k. Given that there's two here I wouldn't expect those types of prices but I would be absolutely shocked if it sold under $1000

Congrats again. They finally start listing them on the PCGS population report. 1 MS65 1 MS66, and 1 MS65 first week of discovery.
Its early to tell, but MS65 might wind up the majority of the graded examples of first finds.

Congrats IV!

Question: Would the guy with 7 coin have been financially better off to have submitted all 7 coins? Seems he probably left some money on the table.

I'm fairly certain it would have still counted as the one submission.

Int he terms and conditions of the contest "PCGS First Discovery pedigree is limited to 1 per customer, multiple qualifying 2019-W American Memorial Park quarter submissions would be assigned for First Week of Discovery or Early Find pedigrees"

As far as that first ebay seller, maybe he is the other winner of this contest, maybe he lucked into 9 of them and submitted his best two to PCGS and got MS66 first discovery tie, a MS65 First week, and sold the rest on ebay at $100 each.

7 coins in a box is like $350 profit alone for what what their going for right now, plus the reward money from PCGS and whatever the slab brings at auction. Wild wild stuff, its like finding a solid box of franklins. I think I'm going to order some boxes of quarters to search this week lol
