I found these S AU Quarter's while CRH.
Wow!
At least some appear to be AU. The only likely explanation is that an avid roll searcher released a bunch of his inferior S-mints bought from the mint along with those he had found in circulation. The implications are staggering really. But the most important is that there must be millions and millions of these in circulation.
Since many have mintages under half a million this would imply nice chBU coins are a lot tougher than most imagine. Many of those buyers of 100 coin bags might be saving only the nicest ten or twenty coins and spending the rest.
Even if every single S-mint 2023 quarter were released to circulation they'd be six times harder to find than the W-mints and thirty five times harder to find than a 1916-D dime was in 1917.
People, generally, still aren't paying attention to what's in circulation, nor are they thinking much about moderns no longer in circulation.
I’ve been distracted with my wheatie hoard, so I just finished last week’s weekly pickup. $300 in nickels and $750 in dimes produced 2 wars, and 5 silvers. The roll that the 1942 was in was really light, and surprised the heck out of me. It weighs only 1.96 grams and appear to have been dipped in acid or something.
There were also two Canadian nickels and a Canadian dime that I posted in the foreign coins thread.
I just finished searching a box of quarter's and zip nada Zelch.
Howeve, I found 2 War nickels (1944D) & 2 Buffalo's (1936 & a no date). Overall, it was a good Crh Session. 😁👍

New box, roll#7 a 2019 W Guam and next roll#8 a 2020 W Weir Farm, so I thought this maybe a hott-box, but nothing after with 10 rolls left except I got my 1st 2024 Women's quarter.
It's interesting that such old quarters are so high grade. Indeed, I've seen no W-mint lower grade than AU-55 yet. This would seem to imply that there are a lot more people seeking these than I had thought and there won't be many left in circulation in just a few more years.

Just happened to be passing through town Yesterday when I noticed everyone setting up for the big two week antique show in Round Top, TX. I cleaned out his mint set offerings before he ever set up, show starts Thursday maybe.
These guys are from Kansas but I might be making that part up. Somewhere not from round here.
I guess it depends how proactive one is. If you guys live near any major airports, you might consider this.

So what dates are the souvenir sets? Are they still cheap?
Last week’s weekly pickup: $200 in nickels and $750 in dimes produced 3 rosies and a 1938 nickel in BU! Nickels have been mostly 2023-P for four weeks now.
I got a very unusual coin today in change. It's a very well made 1977 quarter in nice mid-grade XF. It has only a little of the typical dings and gouges seen on almost all circulating coinage now days and it is confined to the shoulder on the obverse. There is a small rim ding at the "E" in "AMERICA".
this is a common date with a mintage of nearly half a billion but only about 200 million survive and almost every one of them is beaten up and worn out. Nearly half are fully culls rather than merely scratched and worn. 2/3rds of the coins in circulation are very weakly struck so design details never appeared on them to be worn off.
Despite the commonness and flaws of this coin it still stands out as the best early clad quarter I've seen in well over a year despite searching rolls.
I went through a box of Kennedy half $ & a box of nickels last night and this morning. The JFK half dollars were loaded with 2021 Ds which was expected. I found a few NIFCs like a 2013 and a few AU 1876-1776 coins. The nickel box was about the same
Found some Nissan 40s ans 50s. I guess the prize was this parking lot No Date Buffalo 💩. I enjoyed the hunt and on the boxes of Cents, Nickels and Quarter next week. 🦨🦨 Hopefully better results next week.

I purchased 50 sets for 500 and included were two 96 and three 83 souvenir sets so average 10 per set but of course I want be getting 10 each on the 72s.
I will grade a few as only a few warrant such then sell the rest, rinse, and repeat. The 83 sets can bring 75. but I think the Kennedy in MS66 brings more I’ll have to check.

It has a mintmark. Have you considered using ferric chloride to bring the date up?
AMAZING! I posted earlier that I found 1 2020 W V75 Bat quarter from roll #2 (none after) with only 5 rolls left and asked the question below. Well, I got 2 more 2020 W Bat quarters on rolls #45 and the last roll #50! 3 total 2020 W V75 Bat quarter (fairly ice too!) in a single box! Rock on!!
Previous: New box, 2nd roll, 2020W V75 Bat. Nothing since with 5 rolls left. Hopefully, a new box tomorrow... Just curious, if you were to get only a single W in a box, would you rather it be in roll #2 or roll #48?
Last Week’s weekly pickup: $300 in nickels and $750 in dimes. Results were bad: 1 rosie from the dimes and 90% 2023-Ps in the nickels.
Also, this 1917 wheatie from a hunt on Saturday:
My grandparents brought me some coins from Illinois. There were $25 in cents, $250 in dimes, $165 in halves, and $106 in dollars. The only really odd thing was this Bermuda dollar coin. It was on the end of the roll, so I briefly thought that it was an Innovation dollar until I saw the date. I have now found at least one foreign coin in every denomination.
Finished a full box of quarters which had some of the most ugliest coins I've ever seen... Roll after roll with golden brownish corrosion, rust, damage, etc... Only thing found was this 1979 S clad quarter...

I remember getting my orders from the mint in boxes just like this. That was in the 60's and 70s and maybe even the 80s.
Yes, I’ve gotten boxes from the 80s too but I have also seen the older 60s and early 70s in just envelops.
These included nothing special which I’m imagining that if a person bought many boxes and only opened a few, he could tell if this particular batch is full of good or bad coins.
All silver. Just finished the dimes. Now on to the quarters. One of them did not have the right D placement for a 1916-D Merc. I am supposing a 1919-D?
1919-D? Mercury Dime
I also found a VF/XF 1926-P, a 1950-D DDR FS-501, and a 1902 Barber Dime among other things.

Just curious, if you were to get only a single W in a box, would you rather it be in roll #2 or roll #48?
