S Mint Quarters Come Nice

will not get mine before tomorrow . hoping I can report the same good news you gave cc99999

I haven't ordered any yet. I was planning on waiting until a few designs are out or there was something else I wanted to order so I could save on shipping. Good to know the quality is good. I was hoping to find maybe one 65 or 66, saving a handful of 64s and spending the remaining crap on laundry. It'll be nice if most of the roll are keepers.

I got my 2 rolls today.
I opened one to pick the nicest for my collection and a few more to send a friend.

Looking through the roll, the coins are all very nice and very well struck. I notice a much higher releif on the ovbverse... much more detail and depth than the regular p & d coins. Is this something they did intentionally?

I have one roll I will keep intact, just to see what happens.

I will be interested to see if they continue with the S mint coins. I thought it was cool at first, just something else to look out for, but now I'm kind of over it. Pain in the butt to have to order rolls/bags to get a stinking coin. I guess I could always just pick them from circulation like I do the others. I dont know.

That is great to hear the quality is better than the other mints.

I'm waiting to see the mintages and I might order a bag of each design at one time, later on this year.

Or if you do a lot of laundry.

I cannot even find the intended for circulation ATB Quarters, so I will not hold my breath on finding one of these.

Ghost the standard for what makes a coin a grade is supposed to be the same for all. But they do seem to be harder graders on certain coins.

For this series I dont see a 68 bringing any large premiums of being really that great with how many will grade 69. But if you like it you like it. If you are trying to build a premium set or a set registry type thing I would suggest upgradding it. Thats just for modern coins in general where most of them only 70s seperate themselves out with how many 69s there are. That said any individual run could be particullaryly bad and that could change, but I dont think this would be one of them. But for example the 2011 army half dollars bring a premium at 69 since there were so few purchased and pcgs doesn't even have any graded a 70 in the ms version.

there will be MS-70s of these. Not many, maybe a dozen. There will be perhaps eighty or a hundred MS-69s. So if you are an elite player in that game (I'm not for this series) then, yeah. have at it. But MS-68 is a beautiful coin and democratic enough that I'd be happy to find some.

As for what this coin is going to be worth? I think they'll make and sell five to ten million of them and they'll be worth fifty cents to a dollar each until our grandchildren start collecting them after we are all dead.

cc99999 and basebal21 I wonder if in the scheme of things if a MS69 or 68 is the top of the grading plateau for a circulated coin in the ATB Quarter series. I would like to think that it is not.
