2012-S ATB Qtrs ( Circulating Quality )

My 8146 has no holes to spare... Do you have an old version of the album?

Take back what I said about creating a rarity for the sake of creating a rarity. Looks like these will be minted to demand:

I'm wondering... If you're hoping to cherry-pick gems, which tends to be a better bet, bags or rolls? My instinct would be rolls because they would spend less time bouncing around with other coins, but the rolls would have gone through coin rolling machines, which means extra processing by machines.

I was thinking I'd open a roll or two of each design, pick out the nicest few, and spend the rest on laundry. It'd give those poor quarter roll searchers something to hope for.

We'll probably need the holes at the end of the 8147/7145 for the rest of the designs they put out in 2011 (they're probably either going to extend the program or start a new program).

as much as I love the States/ATBs, I really hope they just stick with one design after this series.
I read somewhere on there that the obverse would stay the same but the reverse would be an image of washington crossing the river? aka new jersey State Quarter.

Anything can get old after too long. I hope they end it before it becomes annoying. Its obviously already getting there for some.

When they originally announced the program, I thought they were going to have six the last year just as before. Then I realized that 2010~2021 is twelve years inclusive.

The DC/Territorial program was an afterthought; Dansco decided to sell supplemental pages and not issue new "eleven year" albums (separate DC/T albums do exist). Because this was an individual run of pages, they were made to have fewer holes. For full albums, Dansco seems to avoid mixing page styles (with a few exceptions, like the 7070 and FE/IHC albums). So regardless of the termination date, the extra holes would still be there.

So, will 2021 have a very small total mintage of quarters (one fifth of the typical) or will the lone 2021 quarter have the largest mintage of the series (five times the typical).

I initially was going to pass on these coins but then I changed my mind. I have been "collecting" two sets of each pair of ATB Quarter since the series started. If I want to keep this collection intact I most likely will have to get one or two rolls of the "S" minted coins even if it isn't a "real" rarity.

However, the real question then becomes "Since the uncirculated coin is not in the proof set, is the proof set incomplete"? Just wondering..............

The proof sets are created with the S-mint mark, so in essence they are an S-mint set. That is unless the new circulation coins are considered an enhancement of the circulated proof set. But at that point we are considering playing a game of semantics. But they needed to complete the circulating sets. So we are then forced to included in a set whether or not they are recognized by the album creators. Whether they like them or not.
