I was recently given the opportunity to count and roll up loose quarters for a business. I decided that I would see how many of the quarters issued between 1999 and 2018 I could find while going through this accumulation.
It was easy to spot the
State Quarters among the Eagle and
ATB reverses. One aspect of the
ATB Quarters I didn't like was regardless of the design they all looked the same after a while. I attribute this to the "ring" of information that encircles the reverse.
While the Eagle reverse quarters were not my primary focus I did see some 1965 and 1967 ones as well as Bicentennial quarters. There was no shortage of Eagle reverse quarters in this group.
State Quarters were plentiful. I didn't tally how many for each state that would have been a massive undertaking. I found 49 out of the 50 for the original ten year program.
The 2009 DC and Territories were not often seen. I did find 3 out 6 though. These being DC, Northern Mariana Islands and Guam.
I saved the
ATB Quarters for last as I haven't saved any nor really paid much attention to them other than what others have posted on this forum. I didn't expect to see many from the 2010 to 2012 years; I found 2 designs each of these years. 6 out of 15 or 40%.
I found all 5 designs issued in 2013, 2014 and 2015. I found 4 out of 5 in 2016 and 2017. None from 2018 as the first quarter was released in February.
Total
ATB found 29 out of 41.
I occasionally looked at the obverse to see which mint struck a particular quarter. I didn't record the data though. I know without hesitation that I did not see any San Francisco minted coins.
I had fun looking through this bunch of quarters and look forward to doing it again in the future if asked to do so.
