So I got some rolls from the bank. And while going through them, there was a D mint quarter. The entire box is P. Can someone explain?

Sounds odd, not bad just funny. Maybe it has something to do with them mixing in the W quarters and them gettin mixed around

That's exactly what I was thinking. But I couldn't make sense of it.

That's the most logical explination but hey, knowing our government who knows? And since I didn't say it before,  to CCF! |

I got a sealed Loomis box of 2019P American Memorial Park this morning and going through it now, about half finished.
About 25% are solid 2019P AMP rolls, the rest of the rolls so far have between 1 to 4 older coins mixed in them, and one roll had a 2007 Bahamas 25 cent coin.
My only explanation is that the armored carriers are mixing them further with circulated coins and not just rolling them up
Either that or they just cracked the new coins and there were older coins left in the rolling machines still.
6 W American Memorial Park coins so far. I'll be posting the final pictures in the quarter coin roll hunting thread if anyone is interested.

I once searched a brick of new Lincoln shields for errors / high grades. Sealed box from the bank and they were all BU and the same date / mint mark. Out of all 50 rolls there was one old Memorial cent in them lol. I often wonder how that happened. |

This is likely because of other coins being stuck in the machines that they are running the new coins through to roll them if I had to guess.

T-Bop, I don't think it is. Either there were some left in the sorter of the rolling machine, or they maybe stretched out the shipment to make the Ws harder to find in a single box, hoping to get them to circulate further. Some people reported the Lowell Ws were 6 to even 10 per roll in some instances and 40-50 per box.
I think it's likely the first option, in my case, just some older coin left in the machine, but the mint said they would be monitoring how the release is going and have distribution make adjustments to make it harder or easier depending on how it's going.
if all Ps new design, and the D is a new design and only one in the box, it is perplexing how it got there for sure. East coast Ps should be New Ps only, Denver doesn't distribute East coast and should be circulating before they wind up being seen.
No idea how a New D got into a solid New P box, it technically shouldn't happen, but I personally dumped about 400 D Amp quarters into east coast circulation 2-3 weeks ago, likely I'm not the only one.
I am assuming this was quarters based on how the thread is running, but that isn't verified by the OP although it seems implied by how the thread is running.
Was it quarters, and was it the same design, Like American Memorial Park D in New AMP Ps box or was it an older D coin like a Lowell or older?

BINGO. The armored car service is rolling coins, the ones in the hopper are from coins sent back by banks. The hopper is getting low so they add more coins but these are from a new Ballistic Bag. As the hopper continues to feed the rollersome of the new coins mix in with the old ones. As more and more rolls are made the percentage of new coins gets higher and higher untill all the old coins are gone and from then on they are solid rolls of new coins. When the hopper gets low again they add more, maybe new, maybe old. And the composition of the rolls changes again. It has always been like this. That's why I've always said the only way to know for sure that a "solid roll" of new coins is really a solid roll is to open it up and look at them. |

Thanks Conder101, I felt like that's how it worked and what was going on, happy to get a 2nd opinion, it seemed logical and more likely then them doing secondary mixes. So logically speaking then the armored carrier that particular bank uses just opened a Ballistic Bag and rolled up 100 boxes at least of 2019 American Memorial Park Quarters for distribution at a minimum, and that's if they didn't open a 2nd and 3rd ballistics bag ect...... I think I found my fishing hole for the foreseeable future! Now about that lone D mintmark in an entire box of Ps...... Strange.. any ideas as to how that happens? |

Now about that lone D mintmark in an entire box of Ps...... Strange.. any ideas as to how that happens? It could have happened as Conder101 suggests. But in this case it's less likely for several reasons. The first is that it would be very atypical that any site is being served by both mints. Also, a single coin in an entire box is wholly unexpected. It's possible but one would expect several stragglers and even a few in some rolls. It could be a lone specimen that happened to get caught up in with the new coin as well rather than the remnants of another bag but lone coins out of their local area are also unusual. The odds of this occurring seem so remote I have to believe it was a systemic event. Specifically I suspect that the quarter was hung up in a tote that was shipped to Philly from Denver. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.
