Only when they are errors found in the Walmart parking lot.

Nothing but proofs right now on eBay.

Not worth grading, since the Mint made so many these days.

I haven't seen a 2020 yet of any coin.

Onastone

Same here, not a single new 2020 in circulation around here either.

100% false, right now there are those that deal in moderns searching rolls and bags looking for the highest grades to submit, registry collectors of modern series will pay the premium to get these early to keep their top spots in the registries.

Full bands? Sweet!

The Mint's Engraving Department has to consider the widths of the individual date digits when it dates the new Master Die for each year. 1's are narrow and everything else is full width. Quite often when they go from a date that does not have a 1, say 1940 as an example, to a date that does, such as 1941, they adjust the position of the third digit to compensate for this. Then when they would go from 1941 to 1942 they would have to adjust the position of the third digit back again. This is why the 1942/41-P&D dimes have the 4 strongly doubled, while the 1943/42-P nickel does not.

We just went from 2019 to 2020, and it sure looks like they pushed that second 0 very close to the rim to make way for the second 2. Can anybody do an overlay of photos of a 2019 date with a 2020 to see if the overall length of the date increased?

I agree to what you said about CRH for MS67 or MS68, which would worth slabbing for good prices. However, the OP mentioned getting the coin from grocery store change. I wonder if we'll get high grade coins, like MS66 or above, from such channel without contact marks.

I would say that while not super common it could be done with the right circumstances, fresh roll right from the fed yes I think its possible. I pulled all my statehood qtrs. from circulation and one or two have a shot at 66 or better.

2020 ?? I am just grateful there will not be a handful of extra cents issued in 2020! I just got my last of the 2019's last week. Proof 70 if anyone cares.

From looking at pictures of 2010 and 2019 dimes, it appears that the last digit is further from the rim than on the 2020.

The date on the 2001 cent would have benefited from leaving some space between each of the digits.

Edit: The 2000 dime shows the last 0 further from the rim than the 2020. Possibly all the digits of the 2000 were packed closer together. The 2001 dime has much better positioning of the 1 than the 2001 cent.
