Nice finds, everyone. My last dozen boxes contained: Box 1 (Brinks): 1 2019-W San Antonio Missions, 1 2019-W Lowell Box 2 (Laundromat): nothing Box 3 (Titan): 1 2020-W Marsh Billings Rockefeller Box 4 (Brinks/CWR mix): 1 2019-W War in the Pacific, 1 1960-D silver Box 5 (Titan): nothing Box 6 (bag): nothing Box 7 (bag): nothing Box 8 (Titan/CWR mix): nothing Box 9 (Brinks): 1 2020-W Salt River Bay Box 10 (Brinks): 1 2019-W War in the Pacific, 1 1964-P silver Box 11 (Titan): 1 2019-W American Memorial Park Box 12 (Brinks): 1 2020-W Marsh Billings Rockefeller I hit a rough patch in the middle, but still managed to find 2 silver quarters (pictured below) and 8 West Point mintmarks. The 1964-P is the first silver quarter I've found in my last 32 Brinks boxes. Before, I had been averaging about one silver per 5 Brinks boxes. I had begun to suspect something fishy might be going on at their facility as the price of silver kept rising. But if it is, they missed one.

An unusual find in a CWR: a 40% silver business strike Bicentennial quarter. I had heard about these but never found one until now. These were never released into circulation, right? They were sold directly to collectors?

Quote: These were never released into circulation, right? They were sold directly to collectors? Correct. Sold in three coin sets with a half dollar and Ike.

Ten W mintmarks is excellent based on my averages. Last year, a West Point quarter was worth about 2-3 times that of a silver quarter. Now they're close to even in value.
