I know it's a minor find but for me it's a win, 1st W mm quarter I've found in the wild, plus it has the v75 privy mark. I'll tell you shooting circulated clad is not easy. Have a great weekend everyone :)

    Just went through about $500 worth of quarters from my laundry machines. Zero foreign, zero silver, zero privys.
    This after finding two or three privys in the last few hundred dollars a couple of months back.
    Confirmation bias can be a funny thing. These are actually very hard to find.

    2 million minted of each design in 2020 will bear the v75 correct? I just read 2 million of just the W minted quarters were struck, I'm guessing much less have the privy mark?

    @morgansforever .... Great find!! I am also still hunting for my first W in the wild. I deal in cash almost daily....and have yet to find a W quarter in change. Your find gives me faith.... I am heading out shortly, maybe today is the day!!
    :D;) Cheers, RickO

    It’s a habit from 60 years ago 🤪

    The W quarters and the V75 quarters are one and the same

    Those 2,000,000 of each design were West Point minted and bear the V75 privy

    Ricko. It’s looking like you,me and maybe one more are still without a W from the wild 😉

    No privy marks for me either

    Close! 2019 W quarters DO NOT have the V75 privy!

    Great change find. I can't even find one in a roll (yet)

    I don't have one either, but not really looking. Need to check out the change on top of my dresser.

    Can't seem to capture a "W" in the wild. :(
    All of my coins are purchased ones.
