Quarter Roll Searching

Good luck!

Just a lot of luck in finding a branch with the right timing. I found my first W quarter in June in pocket change when I was in Vegas on vacation. I saw the W and thought it was odd and at first thought it was a proof or mint product coin that someone had put in circulation. Did a quick internet search and found out about the W mint mark quarters. Found three W War in the Pacific coins in a few rolls I got at my bank, but must have been the tail end of that box because I never got another roll of Guam coins. The W mint coins were mixed in with the regular P mint Guam coins in the rolls.

I checked a couple of weeks later and got a few new rolls from the same bank, and the rolls were all the same design, the American Memorial Park coin. But ALL of the W coins I found in those rolls were Lowell W's, not AMP's. So the Guam coins had the W's mixed in with the same P design, but the W Lowells were mixed in with the AMP P quarters. I guess I kind of landed in a honey hole. Over the last few days I bought a bunch of new rolls from that box and ended up with 27 Lowell W's. Not a single AMP W in the rolls, I guess they were not ready to be mixed in with the other AMP's when they were minted? Keep digging, you'll find some!!

to the Community, PghPI!

Big-Kingdom, all of the W Lowell's I have found were all mixed into BU Loomis rolls of the AMP design. All of the War in the Pacific W's I've found were mixed in with BU rolls of the same WIP design. Interested to see when or if I will find the AMP W's........

HI PghPl

Yeah back in April I hit two boxes of AMP P mint marks and pulled almost 50 W AMPS from those two boxes but it's been dry since.
The Lowell P+D coins were released from the mint before the Lowell Ws were ready so solid rolls of Lowell won't produce a W.

The Lowell Ws were all released on that April 1st shipment of American Memorial Parks quarters. The 2nd mint shipment of AMP had the AMP Ws. Then it went to a normal distribution for Guam and now the Texas one.

My understanding is that the AMP rolls are double the amount of Ws per box compared to Guam or Texas boxes due to them trying to catch up quickly. Of course we all want to get them all, but the AMP boxes are going to be the most productive since they got 4 million Ws in them between Lowell and AMPs.instead of 10 weeks per design to distribute each 2million Ws, they had 5 weeks for Lowell and 5 weeks for AMP Ws and did both in the AMP rolls.

I'm just gonna stay at it and keep doing what I'm doing the BU boxes will turn up eventually. I don't think the armored carriers care what they drop off on their deliveries to the bank's but eventually they will get to them.
