I've been saying this was going to happen since this "distribution" was announced. Shades of what happened with the "distribution" of the first two coins in the 2019 W quarter fiasco. The mint trusted the armored carriers back then to "sprinkle" the coins into the counting machines. That didn't happen. They "sprinkled" them right to their friends, family and cohorts. The last 8 coins in the W releases were added in to the Ballistic Bags at the mint. Much better distribution occurred.

You give people a way to cheat the system some will cheat it.

The prices are sliding fast. Now you can pick one up on ebay for under $300 Buy It Now price.

I get a feeling that the prices will continue the slide. I just need to decide at what point to grab one for the collection.

42 boxes of quarters in 2 weeks. Nothing on the 2026 Independence day quarters. I have received 4 boxes of Revolutionary War quarter, 3 boxes of Mayflower Quarters, 1 odd box full of 2019 America Memorial Park with a lot of Ws which was an awesome score. 45 total. How can that box be in a bank vault for 6 years? A full box of Edith kanaka'ole quarters, the rest circulated quarters and minimal finds. 1 silver 1956 1 silver 1963 1 silver Mercury dime in a roll I actually found today, 2 Ws, 4 S Proofs, 5 NIFC S ATB Quarters, a Royal Caribbean Token and some DDRS AND DDOS. I'm about done looking for these July 4th quarters. I'll wait until they are 30.00 a piece and buy 1.

Nice finds, CaptJeffWorthFL!

I don't think I'll find one anytime soon.

Some financial repositories run on a different wave length. Yours sounds like a last in, first out kinda place. Looks tike the AMP quarters finally worked their way to the top of the quarter pile and ended up in your hands! Good luck for you! 45 AMP quarters is a great score in itself!

Chase Bank has not been very helpful. I think they must despise coin collectors. I'm guessing some of the collectors that have tried to get/give coins there may be annoying, or obnoxious, or rude jerks. None of the tellers would ever spend 60 seconds to look at the ends of their new quarter rolls to see if they could find a liberty bell on them. "I'm not going to do that," or "I don't have time to do that," are the common responses. What? Most of them time there's no one in the bank but me! What the hell else do they have to do? What about customer service?

Anyway, I ordered a $500 box of quarters, hoping to get some of the 2026 quarters, especially the Independence Day quarter, and I got a total of maybe 20 out of the 2000 I checked, and only ONE of those was the July 4th quarter - without the privy mark, darn it. :) The other 1800 quarters were just a mix of mostly 1970s-2024. I did actually find one West Point 2020 quarter, but it's in Good/Fine condition, and probably not worth a whole lot. I also got a Canadian silver quarter from 1963. That's about it. I even looked for error coins (within reason - I didn't spent hours and hours doing this). But no luck.

What I'm still very confused about is how people are getting brand new rolls of the July 4th quarter, especially the BOXES full of them. I wish there was a way to order them from ANY bank. We can always order them from the mint - but it costs a LOT more money because of the friggin' markup. Does anyone have any other hints or tips on how to find rolls of the new July 4 quarters, trading cash for coins directly?

What is a privy quarter?

A 1776-2026 Washington quarter that has been stamped with a "July 4th" icon on the obverse.
Another gimmick to pay more for a coin; good luck to our coin-collecting kids- the hobby is dead. Just asked the sailor holding onto his expensive US Navy privy American Eagle.
