The reason it happened was actually because I traded out some dollars I got a few days before for about 10 rolls of quarters, completely forgetting about the Ws for a second, just to hunt for uncommon 2010-12 ATBs. They were Loomis rolls with about 70% MS Guams and maybe one Mariana in total. Finding a W Mariana now is gonna be a real pain for sure.  In addition I haven't found a single D minted 2019 quarter of any kind, not even Lowell, but then again I usually don't until the next year anyway. YGP

Went and bought 2 boxes of quarters today from the bank.
One box was all circulated quarters the other box was super shiny and thought I hit the jackpot with some new 2109 quarters. The whole box was all brand new 2018 D Voyagers quarters. Now do I go through them or just dump them at another bank.

Depends on the kind of hunter you are.
If you like looking for errors and varieties, or even just high mint state examples, then it wouldn't hurt to open them.
Though if you just want Ws or other dates, I'd return them.

Are these W quarters considered instant key dates?

Hi USSID18, it remains to be seen at this point, if people consider them a subset and not necessary for the quarters set, then it's not a key date. If people feel it's necessary, then it can be a key date to the set. it can apply in both categories also. and both types of collectors will want them. It depends on how they get collected by the community, and it's too early to tell. There are always completists, but are their 2 million completists? Time will tell on how it winds up. Still seems on ebay that there are a few selling at $5 or $6 each but the average is around $15, usually selling around $10-almost $20 per coin. I think Raw is likely an easy sell fro any design of W quarter for $10.00 from what I see on ebay. And that's not bad for $0.25. People are valuing them over the run of the mill regular Ps or Ds still. Instant Key date... I'm not sure, it's not Necessary for a P or D collection like those S mintmark NIFC ones aren't "necessary". but I am sure it's a "variety" that is collectible. |

They're bringing pretty good premiums in grades that other ultramoderns never really would.In terms of the whole series they wouldn't be, but long series like this you really have to separate into three categories when discussing them with the silver then clad then the ultramoderns. You could do it even further for quarters with the State Quarters and ATB too. |

Thanks for the feedback Big-Kingdom, basebal21. I was thinking for such a low mintage of 2Mil each, they would be instant key dates. Your detailed explanation cleared that up. Thanks! I search a lot of quarters the past 6 months. Speaking of the surfaces.. Has anyone noticed a distinct difference in the surface/luster/finish between the new business strike 2019 P & D quarters? The difference in my opinion is dramatic! The lusher on the D's is almost proof like compared to the P's. They really jump out it you! The P's look like a satin finish compared to the D's It must be something with the die, strike or minting process. Or maybe it's a planchet issue. Have any of you noticed this? Here are some pictures.    Edited by USSID18

There is a difference between the P, and D for sure. also for those S mint coins and the W's.
Philadelphia does the volume, Denver Generally does less, but they have a higher quality output.
I'd be lying if I said I could determine a P from a D or a W or an S from the rolls, especially once the circulate a bit, but there are clear differences in the presses and manufacturing settings of the different mints with the BU coins that I've notice are absolutely perceptible when side by side and comparing them.
Why does Philadelphia always have the errors? My guess is because they just crank out coins and the quality isn't THAT important as Denver seems to run it.
Denver has the better strike of the two, it's "sharper", deeper details.

I say move the "entire" Philly workforce and management to Denver and the "entire" Denver workforce and management to Philly. I beat we would see an instant change, in both mints!  I picture the Philly production floor looking like a construction site and the Denver production floor looking like an operation room. |

While I do have the Philadelphia and Denver issues in the annual mint sets, and the San Francisco issues from a subscription I have, I have avoided the West Point issues given their high price. Fortunately at the end of the day the run will only be eleven coins (in this series), but at $75 and up for a set of five of 2019, I have passed.
By the way, I am only twenty miles from the Denver mint. Please do not send those east coast minters here, thank you.

The "W" quarters are all going to be sought after, but the higher the grade the better, because most of them that don't get found quickly are going to get banged around in circulation. I see no reason why even the average circulated ones won't sell for a decent premium long term, just as we see with the 1982-83 quarters, only more so because the mintage of the W quarters is so much less. That being said, I don't know if someone should be paying the current ebay prices for circulated ones, they most likely will come down in price somewhat over the next year or two, but who really knows. They definitely are worth looking for in circulation. |
