Hi guys.
Going through some of my inventory. I came across this fantastic looking quarter!
The Silver 2018s Reverse proof
What an unusual coin.
1. it's a proof
2. Great Condition
3. The "Reverse Proof " aspect.
4. SILVER, SILVER, SILVER
And here is the most surprising aspect
5. The LOW, LOW Mintage!
Only 190,170. 
This poor coin gets NO respect.
Value: $15 Tops
Crazy Hobby. 
Although, I love it. Lol

Mintage is low, but survival rate in high grade is high 🙂
Still, a very neat coin. Reverse is one of the better designs of the series, imo.
If you enjoy it, that's the important part. It is a hobby after all!

If you got it CRH then it was no doubt part of someone's Christmas/birthday present that they just didn't care about or it was flat out stolen.

No, I bought this one earlier this year.
My point,
Only for $1.
At the time, $3 under spot.

I really like reverse proof coins. Got my self a set of the 2018s silver reverse proofs back when the mint released them

192k is a lot, I don’t know 200k coin collectors let alone 200k willing to pay a premium for common moderns

The price of these sets are still trading over the mint release price of $55, just below $100 is what they are commanding now.

Do you know 200k non-collectors?
You can't put proofs in the same category as business strikes. There are a LOT of proofs with lower mintages than S-VDB cents.
You're also comparing a cent to a quarter, for that matter.
For only $2.8M you can own the entire mintage!

Good Point! That's funny.

I do agree with the general point that you can get gorgeous coins for cheap!
If you are just enjoying the beauty of silver coinage, there's a lot to enjoy.
A very nice coin.... I have not collected the modern quarter series... none of them. I stopped buying mint/proof sets around 2008. All sets have been sitting in the moving box, unopened, since I relocated late in 2008. Wasn't there a mint set in the late '90's with a missing or abraded mint mark? I think I have that one... since I never hear about it anymore, I guess it never attained collector interest. Oh well, should really do something about them... but what? Cheers, RickO
I really like the Eagle on the back.

Funny looking eagle

It is a Snowy Egret! (This is the sort of dorky fact that you know when you collect bird coins.)
I have the 5 ounce silver "puck" version of this design. It is a nice one.
The S-VDB is not at all rare. Many were saved when issued. But they must be bought if you want one-that was the case when I started collecting 60 years ago. It was nearly impossible to find one in circulation and had been true for many years before I started to collect.
Most of the America the Beautiful quarters are well designed and attractive IMO. The Georgia is one of the best.
LOL...........didn't ya see my wink?
