My take on the S business strike US Quarters is that those that are circulated but still in decent shape should have much higher value than those held by collectors. The US Mint began issuing rolls and bags of the
ATB S business strike Quarters in 2012 and then in 2021 discontinued it for the Washington Crossing Quarter only to resume with a far lower mintage with the American Women's Quarters. With the
ATB S Quarters mintages ranged from about 750,000 - 1.5 million. As has been noted the mintages for the American Women ones are running 300,000 - 500,000. Unlike the
American Innovation Dollar coin business strikes which can be on sale theoretically until the series ends (which should be about 2032). The US Mint is having a shorter selling window with the American Women's Quarters which also seem to be allowed to be on sale for at most 1 - 1.5 years (but with the high demand weeks to months). Most collectors hold onto an extra roll --- and why not? They sell well when no longer for sale and are extremely difficult to find in circulation. Even the
ATB S business strike Quarters are difficult to find in circulation (I have found only one in about low XF condition). The same is going for the
American Innovation Dollar coins from 2020 and 2021 which I have seen individual rolls sold in coin magazines for $109. However, how many S business strike Women's Quarters have you seen in circulation or
ATB ones? Except for 2019
American Innovation Dollar coins that can be found in circulated condition once in a great while it is very difficult to find such coins (circulated) from 2020. Add in that the market for low populations of well-circulated classic coinage has grown more lucrative the past 10 years, I would think a circulated
ATB, American Women's quarter and
American Innovation Dollar coins since 2020 in circulated condition would have a nice premium. I think this will be true int he short to medium term but not so in the long term as more collectors decide to spend low grade uncs to allow room for more valuable coins. One could possiblyt say this is true too for those years
Kennedy halves were not put into circulation and
Native American dollars since about 2013.
Would welcome thoughts on this.
