Mint To Release W National Park Quarters

Good luck again and Congrats on the find.

I really wish they would date the boxes around me, but they don't. My box that I picked up yesterday was beat up and discolored, it was sitting around somewhere since last year, probably at the armored carrier. Same goes for you, the bank has to order coin from the carrier, and you get what you get. I think the date stamp is the armor carrier trying to maintain a FIFO for their inventory so they don't find boxes sitting around from 10 years ago collecting dust that got buried under new shipments, and not so much the bank doing it, Like a "packed on date" for them to go by otherwise all boxes look the same.

Still the best shot at brand new coin, but it's a miss sometimes also, but congrats on your hit. I think they packed that box in early May at the carrier, and the Lowell Ws were April 1st shipments from the mint, so you area is likely a month behind at the carrier to pack it, and then maybe another month for it to get to the banks, and that varies on how much circulated the carriers are takign back in to re-roll, and the banks have on hand from re-rolls, If you find that, then they have to use more change they they take in from customers and need to place change orders.
Next month around this time might be good to check for AMP Ws at the same bank.

All my speculation of course, but my speculation has been working for me so far, and the more I figure out how the supply chain is working the easier it's becoming to find them.

Good luck!

Very well done Mycrob! I've heard the Lowell W boxes out produced the AMP W boxes by a lot and they weren't exaggerating!
60 in a box is huge.

I've only found AMP Ws so far. First box just had 16. 2nd box had 32. I found 1 lightly circulated AMP W in a circulated roll. And found one AMP W from a couple new rolls I picked up last week. My total with much more work is 50 pieces. Lol.

Congrats man! Bet you're happy as heck!

Yeah. My theory is that the April 1st shipment of AMP Ps and Ds they cranked out the Lowell Ws at a higher distribution rate to get them out there and done then went on with the AMP Ws from end of April and may at a lower rate per box.

Now we have June until Aug for the war in the Pacific and I think that will be a lower rate than AMP Ws since it's two whole months, then a lower rate for the 4th design since that's 3 months and finally the last design in November, something like AMP and With Ws disbursement in boxes.

I think they went heavy on the Lowell Ws per box just to get them out there and catch up also.


I'm also not sure why I never saw the Lowell Ws yet here. I think I really should have but they aren't turning up. Makes me think they didn't get into all the April 1st shipments either, like just half and them they switched to AMP Ws. That could explain the double or better find rate of lowells I've hear of people pulling out 2-3 rolls of Lowell Ws from 1 box.

I dunno. Thinking I got skipped for the Lowells Ws, but maybe they just got buried under newer stock and they haven't got to them yet.

The hard part is finding ANY 2019's. I got two boxes in the past 3 weeks and found a total of eight 2019 quarters; all "P". I can't figure out how some of you get boxes with more 2019-W's than I can get 2018 and 2019's combined.

I figured I would have to look through 50 boxes to find my first "W"

I went to the bank and ordered a $500 box.
It came sealed and with the same orange and white machine wrapped style rolls.
I opened it up and was excited to see all new 2019 AMP quarters.
After I opened about 7 rolls finding nothing I saw an old quarter, I checked a few more rolls and found some of the new quarters on the inside with the Coin Wrapping Machine marks.
Someone had already gone through this box and dumped it back at the bank.

Can someone help me. I know I'm missing it here somewhere but is there a listing of the mintage numbers of these W's?
