    It'll be interesting to see how these do moving forward.

    Also, ats coins are weirdly missing so far as well. I think I saw one. Is pcgs pushing these through and ats treating them as standard modern coins? Or just lack of submissions over there? I know at least two of us have them in queue...but hardly any listed so far.

    My American Memorial Park W's will go to auction this week as well.

  • mas3387mas3387 Posts: 1,491 ✭✭✭

    Should have our coins from PCGS here Monday.

    General information from the Federal Reserve on currency and coin.

    “The Federal Reserve Banks offer FedCash Services to help ensure that depository institutions have sufficient supplies of currency and coin to meet public demand. The Federal Reserve Banks act as a distribution center for the issuance of new currency designed and printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (Off-site), and for new coins minted by the United States Mint (Off-site).”

    I had not used PCGS since I sent in my 07/08 eagles so I forgot how to find out what is happening with them since I mailed them. Could someone inform me please.

    Go to the pcgs website. At top right of page you can log in. After you log in, click “my account” at top right.

    On the next screen, click on “my orders”

    At some point, the items will show up as pending, a day/week after that, it’ll move down below to show the order number and submission number. You can click the submission number and see your coins.

    Grades won’t post until the charge hits your card. Anticipate a few weeks. Be happy if it shows up earlier.

    Thanks guys. I don't have a cell phone so will go the other way. I could never figure out how to use one as I grew up in the era that did not even have a calculator small enough to fit in your hand and am too old to try more electronic gadgets.

    I know that feeling! ;)

    It’s taken me awhile (decades) to do these contraptions and when I do, it’ll take years before I decide to do something “new” on the phone.

    Phone should be for calls, but that is probably the last thing I use it for. :)

    There’s a track my package option that should let you type in the tracking number to verify they received it.

  • morgansforevermorgansforever Posts: 8,459 ✭✭✭✭✭

    One on Ebay for $1870, a 66 First Week coin. I don't know about paying that much for a clad quarter, plus sales tax, to each his own. Have not found a single one despite searching 25 rolls.

    Maybe give them a call tomorrow? The system has worked pretty well whenever I’ve tried it.

  • pitbosspitboss Posts: 8,643 ✭✭✭

    Yes, I intend to call them 1st thing tomorrow. My credit card has not been hit for the charge yet so something somewhere is screwed up.

    This is my experience with submittals.

    There should be two listings when doing the USPS lookup. First that the PO received the package. Second that the renter of PO Box (in this case PCGS) picked up the package with electronic signature of whomever picked it up. After an hour or two it should show up under PCGS package tracking.

    After a day, maybe two, the package is opened and separated into however many submissions are in the package and go to “in processing” and the anxious waiting really begins. It will no longer show up under PCGS package tracking.

    As @Tetromibi mentioned, call if it does not show up as “in process” or PCGS package tracking. Also, provide the name of the individual who signed for the package.

    Went to 4 different branches today, no one has 2019 quarters and can't order any. I remember seeing that list, CT wasn't on it regarding distribution, CT sucks!

    You can't specify "2019" boxes. You have to take what they get and hope you luck into one that came strait from the Fed branch bank that contains only new quarters. In my area found three such boxes and they looked no different on the outside than boxes of recycled quarters. I have found a few W's in the recycled coin boxes. Have searched 48 boxes, picked up three more today.

    The mother lode is a box full of nothing but brand new super shiny quarters.

    That's sorta risky, I could get nothing but recycled state quarters and beat up clad Washies.
    The risk is minimal I suppose, will have a ton of quarters to spend.
    If I buy a roll on Ebay, do I pay sales tax on money to the Consumption State?

    66 PCGS First Week Lowell pieces are anywhere from a $770 - $235. Seems most sold in the $350 range, some more, some less. The Early Find 66 pieces are bringing less. A 67 Lowell First Week recently sold for $1474 on the 28th of April. The 65's anywhere from $650 on April 20th to $73 on 1 May. Someone is very upside down on that 5 at least for now.

    One thing about the Lowell’s they will/are the test bed for what people will pay.

    Expecting a slight lull and then pickup in premiums when the last W is released and collectors will want to ensure they have all five of the Ws. Idaho’s Frank Church release is 4 Nov, so sometime next years for price stabilization for all the Ws and start seeing sets. 2c opinion.

    Sry, my joke was on the locality of the search. Im on the East Coast.

    You may hv searched out all the W in your area, based on your daily volumn.

    Wishes you more luck and the best!

    I have 50 put aside for the future to make sets of the W's and am frankly enjoying the break until the 2nd batch hits town. That was hectic for me at my age.

    respectfully disagree. I suspect future Mariana pops will show fewer higher grades and lower graded totals as I believe more of these are finding their way into circulation. Once in circulation much less chance of being submitted.

    I did not say that they are going to be a test bed, that was someone else.

    I too, believe that most of the W's will end up in circulation as people are not going to chase them as they did with the Lowells.

  • derrybderryb Posts: 36,787 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The mint has confirmed that there will be three more W's for the remainder of 2019. They have not confirmed that they will or will not be continuing the W program into 2020.
