I went in to Aldi today to get a few groceries and had to get a quarter for a cart. I found a dime, 2 nickels and 5 beat up cents to exchange with the cashier. He gave me this.
First one I have found. Pretty cool.
Some things are just meant to be! Congratulations!😎
I'll post this here, because I know you guys would appreciate this.
I'm in the dentist office waiting today and these pictures/paintings were staring at me. I see this stuff in my sleep. Are you guys as crazy as I am? If you're seeing what I'm seeing, maybe you are. I'm going crazy, wanta come??

--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.
I have searched over 10 boxes of all Tallgrass new coin rolls and the most I have found in one roll is 4 and the most I found in a box of 2000 is 38.
Most of the boxes averaged 14 to 20.
In the early issues in 2019 I found up to 200 Ws per box of new coins and sometimes 15-25 per roll. In the beginning the Ws were delivered to the coin rollers (armored carriers) in separate small bags. The rollers dumped them all at one time into the rolling machine tub with the non Ws. Result was boxes heavily concentrated with Ws leaving other boxes (from subsequent rolling tub refilling of new coins) with few to no Ws.
Later issues had the Ws mixed more evenly into the 50,000 coin bags before they left the P and D mint facilities.
Just received my 3rd W Tallgrass Prairie quarter in the mail yesterday. That quarter made it a happy W trio, in my Tallgrass Prairie W collection. All three have the different grades. 65,66 and 67. Trying for that difficult MS 68.
All Three Found by Coin Roll Hunting
MS 65
MS 66
MS 67

Really? I thought the W's were all sent directly to the P & D mints to be mixed in with the P & D coins as they rolled off the line. Okay, thanks!

Although the mint wrapped up the W quarter program last year, I continue to purchase sealed boxes in hopes that some of the 10 coin series with Ws still remain unreleased by the FED branch banks or the contracted coin rolling/distributor armed carriers.
Imagine my surprise when I picked up these four boxes from my bank yesterday:
The good news: Confirms my belief that there are still sealed boxes of uncirculated 2019 and 2020 quarters (the "W years") out there.
The bad news: The Samoa batcoin pictured was one of only two 2019-2020 issues where the W coins from West Point were not ready in time to be added to the P and D coins before being rolled. The Samoa Ws were actually included in rolls of the next coin, the Weir, along with the Weir W's.
A little late to the party here.
I bought a MS65 2019-W War in the Pacific as I HAD to have 1, and found a 2019-W River of No Return in change from Burger King of all places - which became my "BK" quarter. That graded MS63.
No 2020-Ws, but I've only been checking change I normally get. I haven gone the bank roll route. I kinda lost hope, but still check for them.

Still looking for my first “W”. Saw some for sale (Guam) for $10 each but really just want to find one rather than buy one.

Pictured - four boxes with no W's.
