I'm with Brad31, I'd wait for the trifecta.... no print line, no stain, well centered. Pretty sizeable investment. Selling the '69 Mantle? If memory serves me, that was a retirement gift from the wife?
Re: W Quarter Pricing Continues To Be Strong Heading In To 2025
CK: I'm a huge fan of the W quarters as well. I have found only three of them because very few new quarters are released into this area since covid and they only are released in bags with all new quarters.
How many S women quarters from 2022 have you found? Probably 0. Should be interesting to see what happens in next 10-20 years.

What prices are listed in CDN and CPG price guides for the W quarters?Numismedia FMV has prices of MS 65 @ 6.60 and MS61 @ 84 cents.
Why do we need any factual information or linked data points ? Freddie said he did a "quick check", I'm sure we can rely on that alone.
Dan, thank you for the kind words and your continued interest in W quarters.😎

Re: The US Mint saw a big sales decline in 2024

The decline will get worse by their plan of increasing clad coin prices.
They clearly do not care. Their new model seems to be to price like a world mint, where the demand and sales are traditionally a fraction of that of the US Mint, and let sales be whatever they turn out to be.
If they ran it more intelligently, they'd figure out how to maximize profit while producing at a level that supports value in the secondary market, ensuring continuing demand. Which would mean significantly lower premiums to the variable cost of production, without taking into account bloated federal government fixed costs and overhead that would exist even if numismatic sales were reduced to zero.
But they don't do that. Instead, they price at a level that ensures reduced demand. On top of that, they over produce items like the Morgan and Peace Dollars while under producing items like the recently Flowing Hair gold and silver product.
It must be nice to not have to worry about having to answer to anyone, and just basically doing whatever you want.
