    @hemispherical . I'm totally geeking out now, Ye! :# Too many shiny coins. I ordered these last week out of desperation to find the W. And a decent half. I suppose hindsight would have ordered a mint set. Then o'course I find 20 W's at HEB this week.

    Excuse excessive ignorance, but are mint sets still using enhanced uncirculated (or whatever they called it) coins?

    Do not see a set for enhanced uncirc for 2019.

    The last time was in 2017 for the 225th Anniversary Enhanced Uncirculated Coin Set.

    Thank you. That was what I was wondering. Shows how many mint sets I buy.

    Is that a real gerbil/hamster/mouse (rodent) as your icon? Looks like it’s being trained? Cool!

    I think @daltex comment was self-directed. (Change “excessive” to “my”).

    I think your right, install "my" after excuse. Sorry @daltex ;)

    @batman23 Well, if I only had 20 or 30K laying around sure, sounds reasonable.

    yea batman, some of us need the cash flow. Besides, the 122,000 I've looked at in the last month would take up a lot of room.

    Anyone paying attention to the pops of the American Memorial? Two weeks after deadline for "First Week of Discovery" and still only 10% of the Lowell FWOD. Pretty much confirms the American Memorials are definitely in hiding.

    Based on pops, ebay prices are actually low.

    Are you saying you found the Ws within the solid Lowell P/D rolls?

    Thats news to me as I hv quite a few solid Lowell's but not bother to break open yet since I heard its mixed with the American Memorial /Mariana quarters instead.

    I would guess those are "ender" rolls from a mariana box

  • tommyrusty7tommyrusty7 Posts: 2,022 ✭✭✭✭

    Yes they all came out of Mariana boxes.
    It is a waste of time looking for W quarters in Denver boxes of Lowells as they ARE in the Mariana boxes.

  • tommyrusty7tommyrusty7 Posts: 2,022 ✭✭✭✭

    Got 3 more boxes to look through today.

    Congrats! What was turnaround time? Read that these Ws are fairly quick in grading.

    Only 10% as many being submitted.

    Anyone else who still hasn't even gotten a 2019 coin in change yet?

    It's bizarre, I tell you. It's like they're avoiding me...

  • morgansforevermorgansforever Posts: 8,461 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Searched 25 more rolls not a single W Washie. I have noticed the D mint coins are superior to the P mint ones, some have 6" mirrors.

    Early Finds are showing up for Mariana. Maybe the first week labels will be relatively scarce after all.

  • tommyrusty7tommyrusty7 Posts: 2,022 ✭✭✭✭

    Where are the Mariana W's showing up. We sure have not seen any in our area.

    Mariana thread. Last report, which has been awhile is east coast-ish.

    Hey! I got my first 2019 coin in change today!

    It was a nickel... :'(

    The graded pop reports indicate they are barely showing up anywhere. "First Week of Discovery" for the Mariana's is less than 13% of that for the Lowells.

    Well, they are avoiding me as well.
    Not even a 2019-D Lincoln, and the new year's cents usually show up in these parts in February.
    I guess less people using cash means the new (2019) coins won't show until 2020.

  • derrybderryb Posts: 36,824 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Monday, June 3 next one to be released.

    Finally got a box of shiny new Mariana's (actually got nine of them) from my bank today. First one resulted in 141 Lowell W's and no Mariana W's. Eight more boxes of shiny's to search!

    I sold all of my Lowells and did not find many of the next 3 at all. I am hoping for the San Antonio to be available here in Albuquerque.
