I've been collecting the 2012 ABT P, D, S business strike quarters and was wondering if anyone knows if the mintage numbers for the S-mint El Yunque, Chaco Culture, Acadia, Hawaii Volcanoes & Denali business strikes have been published. If so, can you direct me to them.
Thanks.

Preliminary figure was 1.4 million of each design, final figures should be released next month.

Buy the remaining 2012-S rolls from the Mint. They are a steal at $18.95 and probably will have some residual secondary value later, as most people are unaware of these NCLT coins. Will be tough to find in circulation except by chance.

I would be very very surprised to fine a 2012-S ATB in circulation since they are available only from the mint at a premium and have such a low mintage-I think. Has anyone put their extras into circulation? |

I received a 2012-D Grover Cleveland (first term) Pres. Dollar in change from a Denver Light Rail ticket dispenser, so never say never! |

Since the mint released S-mint business strike non-proof quarters, I'm beginning to wonder if they will so the same for cents, nickels, dimes & half dollars too. It wouldn't surprise me if they did if the quarters are successful.
Good grief, how many quarters were available for 2012?
El Yunque Denver mint
El Yunque Philadelphia mint
El Yunque San Francisco mint business strike
El Yunque San Francisco mint proof
El Yunque San Francisco mint silver
Chaco Culture Denver mint
Chaco Culture Philadelphia mint
Chaco Culture San Francisco mint business strike
Chaco Culture San Francisco mint proof
Chaco Culture San Francisco mint silver
Acadia Denver mint
Acadia Philadelphia mint
Acadia San Francisco mint business strike
Acadia San Francisco mint proof
Acadia San Francisco mint silver
Hawaii Volcanoes Denver mint
Hawaii Volcanoes Philadelphia mint
Hawaii Volcanoes San Francisco mint business strike
Hawaii Volcanoes San Francisco mint proof
Hawaii Volcanoes San Francisco mint silver
Denali Denver mint
Denali Philadelphia mint
Denali San Francisco mint business strike
Denali San Francisco mint proof
Denali San Francisco mint silver
----25 quarters. Isn't that excessive?

I agree that it is excessive; however, I would like to get the 2012-S business strikes in a set from the mint to make them easier to get, but I don't think they have any available. It is that correct?

I haven't seen any mint sets of the S business strikes and haven't heard if they're available.

Since the El Yunque-S is now completely Sold Out, we can extrapolate a mintage from the sales.
10,008 100-coin bags = 1,000,800 coins
16,961 40-coin rolls = 678,440 coins
Total = 1,679,240 El Yunque-S circulation-finish Quarters.
All 100-coin "S" bags are now Sold Out.
Chaco & Hawaii rolls should be nearing sell outs if the El Yunque roll figure is any indication.

Noobie here,
What is a "Business Strike" quarter? Also, did they make the "S" mint for the 2010 & 2011. I didn't see them listed anywhere.
Thanks.

I didn't see them listed anywhere.  2012 was the first year for the S mint which is why some (myself included) werent thrilled with the idea. The business strike is basically just a coin meant for circulation as opposed to using the better striking methods for collector versions |
