Anyone Else Get MT Rushmore S And Wowed By Them?

Don, I bought the P, D and S 100-coin bags and I noticed that as well first thing when they were opened this afternoon. The S's look real good, but I've had some good S's from the Great Basins as well. The ones that really impressed me were the Denver quarters because their quality to me has been really lacking in previous ATB releases. The Denver mint QA department must have finally woke up after a long summer hibernation. The Philly's were lackluster so far in my bags.

OK that's interesting. The experience I've had is exactly the opposite. The P mint ATBs that I have gotten through the whole series have pretty much sucked. The D mint rolls have been pretty good. I got tired of sending back the Ps and complaining. Though I did have one D roll of Perry's victory that looked like they had been put in a paint shaker thry had so many hits and scratches. But that was it.

smokeriderdon, these are coins I get from the Denver Mint Gift Shop.
My P-Mint rolls are BU bank rolls, so in neither case do my ATB Quarters come from Mint-wrapped rolls.

Agreed, the P-mint BU rolls I've opened are generally not as good as my Denver rolls.
I had a roll of Chaco P's that were so bad, I spent half of them.
And that variety is tied for second-lowest mintage in the series
One 'exception' was a great roll of Hawaii Volcanos-P's
Also had a roll of El Yunque-P's that were nice.

For Denver, 90% of the Perrys had tons of field hits
Earlier on, the Vicksburgs all looked gray and dingy.
Most of the Hot Springs D's I got were subpar.
The Rushmores are the best batch I've had in three years of Denver Mint ATB coins, all $100 of them looking almost as good (or as good!) as my Rushmore-S Quarters.
