Interesting point of view. So since you think you know me so well I am going to ask you point blank and not assume I know what you do with your coins.
Do you sell coins to generate income to support your hobby or just search rolls or buy the coins you collect and never ever sell a coin? I find it hypocritical for others to criticize someone for selling what they collect if they do it themselves. Please enlighten us.
It's interesting that you assume that is a criticism rather than just a statement of fact: You sell W quarters so you are squeezing revenue from the program.
Are you sure that you aren't the one who thinks that's a bad thing?

Personally I think it will be a shame. I enjoyed checking my 2019/2020 quarters for W's. I wish they would do something like it.
You can still check your 2019/2020 quarters for W's. Just don't bother checking the 2021's.

I don't care about the W quarters. Most of the general public neither knows nor cares. They were created as a short term novelty. I think their quite natural disappearance is a completely neutral occurrence.
I have been thinking about your post and this is my response to your comment. I agree the general public is unaware of the W quarters. In fact, many don't even know about the Mint marks in general but when I explain to them about the W quarters they are interested and they want to learn more. I disagree that they don't care about them.
So, could you explain how they are somehow both unaware and care????
Also, the only way you can disagree is if you believe that "**MOST **of the general public" either knows or cares.

I think I noticed another thread comparing the mintages of the "W" quarters vs. that of the "S" quarters which noted that the "S" quarters have about 1/2 of the mintage of the "W"s, but since the "W"s are distributed in random circulation rolls, they will be harder to obtain in nicer condition and in smaller quantities - thus the "W"s might have more longterm potential for price appreciation. Or, they might not.
The negative side to all this is that older collectors such as myself find it annoying and somewhat confusing to keep up with the Mint's creation of varieties and different finishes. If you are a specialist in one series, that may be just fine. But, if you try to collect a number of current denominations, it becomes more challenging and time-consuming just to collect a basic series - when it should not be that involved and costly. It becomes a cash drain when you have to either pay a hefty premium to the Mint or a hefty premium to a roll searcher - for what amounts to ordinary circulation coinage.
If you are a newer collector, hey - this may be the direction the hobby is headed - specialized output for new market segments while throwing a curveball into the planning of established collectors. If that's the case, more power to ya - but I won't be joining that particular party. Eric Jordan commented on this trend towards specialization a few years ago in the context of Modern Bullion.
Thank you for your perspective! That makes total sense to me and I understand your frustration.👍

10 million may be a small percentage of the run but still very large. As such not a real foreseeable future collectible.
They have to get some more astute marketing people involved at some point, the precious metals market is booming and they are leaving too much money, investor and collector interest on the table.
I do agree that the Mint should offer more limited edition products but I constantly see complaints from collectors who have to buy on the secondary market when this happens so what do you propose they should do?
As coins in circulation continue irrelevancy the future is ordering direct from the mint. Its not up to me to figure out how to create interesting intrinsic products that the public will appreciate and gladly preorder and prepay. They need to figure a preorder system out themselves. Massive potential out there, they hit a home run with the ASE lets see what they can come up with. IMO they are moving in the right direction.

Come on now. To answer you directly no. I don't think it's a bad thing for me or anyone else to sell our coins and that's my point. I do it to take care of my family and to pay for the coins I buy to keep for my collection. I will ask you the same question: Do you sell coins to generate income to support your hobby or just search rolls or buy the coins you collect and never ever sell a coin?
Regarding what you call my interpretation of Coinbuf's comments as criticism I do believe by his choice of words such as gimmick, squeezing revenue and trick/treat etc. that he was criticizing me. Interesting how he hasn't responded to my question but you felt the need to.
I would appreciate him clarifying his comments and if it was criticism then I would appreciate his answer to my question as well.

Sure but I already did. Again as I previously stated I find many people are unaware that there are W quarters in circulation but after I explain it to them many find it interesting and tell me they will start looking for the W.

Not a fair question. I'm more dealer than collector.
But, again, all of those things are true and only one of them refers to you. And it could well be a simple statement of fact.
W quarters are/were a gimmick by design.
People who flip coins do it for the money.
I don't think either of those things need be insults.

I'm not at all angry.
I said "MOST of the general public neither knows nor cares." You tell me that the general public is unaware of the quarters but if you tell them they might care. You appear to agree with me, yet feel the need to disagree. Why are you so contrary?
The W quarters aren't for the general public in my opinion as they are too rare to find for casual interest. The statehood and ATB quarters are for the general public. I think W quarters are for variety hunters.

They weren't advertised to the general public. If they wanted there to be a treasure hunt, they would have run print and media ads.
The post office did a similar thing a few years ago. They sold sheets of inverted Jennys and randomly inserted some upright Jennys when they distributed. So, I went around buying up sheets. Not only were there no ads anywhere except philatelic publications, NONE of the postal workers in any of the post offices I went to knew. They didn't even mention the gimmick on the ads in the post office for the sheets!!!
I used to think it was the worst treasure hunt in the history of treasure hunts...until the W quarters.

I think you need to consider how targeted ads on social media works. They distribute coin ads to coin guys. Anyone who isn't already a coin or bullion person never saw those ads.
If you were a stamp guy, you would have seen the Jenny ads.

That's the thing with CRH. People who do it, like to do it. It's not about the revenue generated, it's for fun. It's not fun for me, so I use my coin time to generate more revenue.
I think it's completely irrelevant to the hobby. These coins don't/didn't circulate. The vast majority were found by roll searchers, not people checking their change. Even if they were, they are far too common to generate new collectors. People were willing to check their change for a 1943 copper Lincoln that was worth, what, $1000? I honestly don't remember what ads were offering when they were first discovered. Most people aren't going to do a lot of work to see if their change is worth $8-10. It's "Happy Meal" exciting, not life-changing exciting. People just aren't going to start collecting coins because they got a free lunch one day, and the mint mark requires too close observation for too little payoff. I'm not even sure the National Parks quarters had any effect as a whole. I think there was enough fatigue in 2009; regular people thinking they never would have started if they had known it would take ten years to finish. By the end they were saving one Oklahoma quarter out of habit, not any genuine interest. All the W quarters did was give people who were willing to (last year it became "able to") get rolls and look through them a chance to sell at a small profit to other people who already collected coins.

Interesting point of view. So since you think you know me so well I am going to ask you point blank and not assume I know what you do with your coins.
Do you sell coins to generate income to support your hobby or just search rolls or buy the coins you collect and never ever sell a coin? I find it hypocritical for others to criticize someone for selling what they collect if they do it themselves. Please enlighten us.
It's interesting that you assume that is a criticism rather than just a statement of fact: You sell W quarters so you are squeezing revenue from the program.
Are you sure that you aren't the one who thinks that's a bad thing?
Come on now. To answer you directly no. I don't think it's a bad thing for me or anyone else to sell our coins and that's my point. I do it to take care of my family and to pay for the coins I buy to keep for my collection. I will ask you the same question: Do you sell coins to generate income to support your hobby or just search rolls or buy the coins you collect and never ever sell a coin?
Regarding what you call my interpretation of Coinbuf's comments as criticism I do believe by his choice of words such as gimmick, squeezing revenue and trick/treat etc. that he was criticizing me. Interesting how he hasn't responded to my question but you felt the need to.
I would appreciate him clarifying his comments and if it was criticism then I would appreciate his answer to my question as well.
Not a fair question. I'm more dealer than collector.
But, again, all of those things are true and only one of them refers to you. And it could well be a simple statement of fact.
W quarters are/were a gimmick by design.
People who flip coins do it for the money.
I don't think either of those things need be insults.
Interesting. So you consider yourself a dealer and not a collector. Thank you for the clarification and I am glad you aren't angry.
I consider myself both. But if I sell $200k in coins per year and buy $2k coins to collect, I'm MORE dealer than collector.
So now I gotta ask you. Did you find and flip W quarters as a dealer?
No, I have a full-time job. I don't generally find CRH to be worth my time. If I did, for what it's worth, I would have sold every single one. I have no interest in collecting them.
I understand. I have a full time job too but I make time to CRH. I love the thrill of the hunt. Nothing like finding a W staring back at you. I swear Washington is winking at me when I do!🤣😂
That's the thing with CRH. People who do it, like to do it. It's not about the revenue generated, it's for fun. It's not fun for me, so I use my coin time to generate more revenue.
Absolutely! This echoes what I stated earlier that our hobby should be FUN!
To me this is what makes the W quarter so great....anyone can find them and the computer bots lose since they can't be bought on the Mint website.

I think it's completely irrelevant to the hobby. These coins don't/didn't circulate. The vast majority were found by roll searchers, not people checking their change. Even if they were, they are far too common to generate new collectors. People were willing to check their change for a 1943 copper Lincoln that was worth, what, $1000? I honestly don't remember what ads were offering when they were first discovered. Most people aren't going to do a lot of work to see if their change is worth $8-10. It's "Happy Meal" exciting, not life-changing exciting. People just aren't going to start collecting coins because they got a free lunch one day, and the mint mark requires too close observation for too little payoff. I'm not even sure the National Parks quarters had any effect as a whole.

I have made no assumptions, you have on more than one occasion made it very clear that your in the business of finding and fliping W qtrs to support your family. I have (or I thought I had) made it clear that I dislike this aspect of the hobby because it does not support collectors only the secondary market. It has been said many times that older collectors got started by searching change for coins which they then plugged into holes of albums and boards. That activity cannot be replicated with new collectors because of how this (and other) mint program was run. Remember that those kids of the 1950's were not just looking for one needle in a haystack coin, rather a much broader and larger number of coins. Sure the hope of finding an 09 S VDB, or 50-D nickel helped to fuel those searches, but it was not the end game like the W qtrs are. Yes I don't like that the W qtrs have been pulled out of circulation driven only about the profit not by collectors that were about the hunt and furthering their collection.
What you do not understand is that my disdain is not so much with you but rather with the mint and how this program was handled, and to be fair the huge bounty that PCGS placed; which almost more than the mint program itself; forced this into a money grab thing. I don't think that most of that is/was done intentionally to exclude collectors from being able to find W qtrs in change, but the money grab aspect of things has done just that. So I am not faulting you for capitalizing on the money aspect, but that does not mean that I have to like; or support; that this is just another Mint gimmick that thru poor execution has left the collector out of the picture.
You have on more than one occasion said that it brought excitement to searching, I say that is bullsnot; why don't you go ask any collector that has been checking their change hoping that they might find one and see how exciting it is to have not found even one W qtr because they are all on ebay at $10-$15 each.
I am not a flipper, dealer, or roll search guy, I am a collector end of story; what I do with my collection when or for how much I buy or sell is none of your business and has nothing to do with the fact that you asked for opinions on the W qtr program. You asked and I gave you my opinion, this program brought little to no recognition to the general public about the hobby of collecting coins. I think the vast majority of those that involved themselves in this program; that were not already coin collectors; were only interested in the money aspect and will be gone just as soon as the money runs out. That is not what I hope for but that is what I think will happen.

Mint Confirmed No W Quarters In 2021. Is This Good Or Bad For The Hobby?
For the hobby? Neither. Except for roll hunters, it won't matter to anyone. Date/mm collectors will collect whatever's produced and won't stop collecting because there are no W quarters in 2021. And those who don't collect US quarters won't even notice.
The W qtrs were an interesting offering, however, unless you had connections at banks forget about getting one bank box let alone 10’s or 100’s over boxes to search over the 10 issues.
I think maybe a few that had the connections might be a little upset their nice little source of extra income has now dried up.
The USM could have easily offered the W’s in limited sets for 10 bucks for 5. This would have cut down the stupid prices those “with the connections” we’re getting on eBay and elsewhere.

Fair enough. I didn't realize you didn't collect two years ago. Do you collect anything else?
20th century rarities, though I'm a little elastic on that definition. If you'll search this forum you'll see pictures of my Walker pattern.

I love Franklin halves and I found a Barber quarter while CRH. Also have Morgans and Peace Dollars.
Of course I have plenty of W quarters and I stack Silver whenever possible. I still find Silver quarters in rolls as well.
Also have the Silver Bicentennial quarter, half and dollar set too.

The W quarters aren't for the general public in my opinion as they are too rare to find for casual interest. The statehood and ATB quarters are for the general public. I think W quarters are for variety hunters.
Interesting point. Thank you for your comments! Do you mind offering your opinion on if you think the W quarters not being available in 2021 is good or bad for the hobby?
I think it would be better if they continued. I would have loved a W Crossing the Delaware quarter!
Interest in these quarters could get people looking for other quarter varieties at the same time.

Personally I think it will be a shame. I enjoyed checking my 2019/2020 quarters for W's. I wish they would do something like it.
You can still check your 2019/2020 quarters for W's. Just don't bother checking the 2021's.
True but I have yet to find a single one in circulation.

It's interesting that you assume that is a criticism rather than just a statement of fact: You sell W quarters so you are squeezing revenue from the program.
Are you sure that you aren't the one who thinks that's a bad thing?
You can still check your 2019/2020 quarters for W's. Just don't bother checking the 2021's.
So, could you explain how they are somehow both unaware and care????
Also, the only way you can disagree is if you believe that "**MOST **of the general public" either knows or cares.
Thank you for your perspective! That makes total sense to me and I understand your frustration.👍
As coins in circulation continue irrelevancy the future is ordering direct from the mint. Its not up to me to figure out how to create interesting intrinsic products that the public will appreciate and gladly preorder and prepay. They need to figure a preorder system out themselves. Massive potential out there, they hit a home run with the ASE lets see what they can come up with. IMO they are moving in the right direction.
Come on now. To answer you directly no. I don't think it's a bad thing for me or anyone else to sell our coins and that's my point. I do it to take care of my family and to pay for the coins I buy to keep for my collection.

Sure but I already did. Again as I previously stated I find many people are unaware that there are W quarters in circulation but after I explain it to them many find it interesting and tell me they will start looking for the W.
Why are you so angry? 😂🤣
I don't disagree. Thank you!

I said "MOST of the general public neither knows nor cares." You tell me that the general public is unaware of the quarters but if you tell them they might care. You appear to agree with me, yet feel the need to disagree. Why are you so contrary?
LMAO
The W quarters aren't for the general public in my opinion as they are too rare to find for casual interest. The statehood and ATB quarters are for the general public. I think W quarters are for variety hunters.
Interesting. So you consider yourself a dealer and not a collector. Thank you for the clarification and I am glad you aren't angry.
They weren't advertised to the general public. If they wanted there to be a treasure hunt, they would have run print and media ads.
The post office did a similar thing a few years ago. They sold sheets of inverted Jennys and randomly inserted some upright Jennys when they distributed. So, I went around buying up sheets. Not only were there no ads anywhere except philatelic publications, NONE of the postal workers in any of the post offices I went to knew. They didn't even mention the gimmick on the ads in the post office for the sheets!!!
I used to think it was the worst treasure hunt in the history of treasure hunts...until the W quarters.
I consider myself both. But if I sell $200k in coins per year and buy $2k coins to collect, I'm MORE dealer than collector.
Interesting point. Thank you for your comments! Do you mind offering your opinion on if you think the W quarters not being available in 2021 is good or bad for the hobby? D> @jmlanzaf said:
Sorry but I gotta disagree. I found out about the W quarter program through social media before they were released to the public.
I never heard about the inverted Jenny's program until just now!🤣🤔
I think you need to consider how targeted ads on social media works. They distribute coin ads to coin guys. Anyone who isn't already a coin or bullion person never saw those ads.
If you were a stamp guy, you would have seen the Jenny ads.
Good point. I was just messing with you though.😉
So now I gotta ask you. Did you find and flip W quarters as a dealer?
No, I have a full-time job. I don't generally find CRH to be worth my time. If I did, for what it's worth, I would have sold every single one. I have no interest in collecting them.
