If so, it's a pretty short "series". But there are some special varieties, mostly errors? (sorry no W's my bad) .but I dont think it can be called a series unless there are more than one date.

I think it was authorized under the America the Beautiful series, was it not? At least that's what the US Mint site says. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-110publ456/pdf/PLAW-110publ456.pdf But it isnt actually part of the series because the Obverse is the pre 50 states obverse, was it authorirized by congress or not? Is it a series ? or an orphan?
Thought it was being replaced next year.
It is a one coin series - which is why I love that coin
To me, series implies multiple issues/dates. This only one year. I would call this a one year type coin. Just my opinion
I'd call it a series. It was meant to be the new design going forward but the series was ended after one year due to subsequent legislation that authorized yet another series.
It should be a series instead of the women's reverse quarters starting in 2022. They should use the new obverse of Washington that's coming in 2022 and the Washington Crossing the Delaware reverse that's on the 2021 quarter.
Yup. Similar to the 1976 Bi-Centennial coins which were a one year issue but collected as part of their respective series.

Two year, both years with the same date(s).
That one gets a little messy.
I got one in change this week.... I do not think it is a series though. Never can be sure what the Mint may do though. Cheers, RickO
I think we can all agree that it's a neat and well executed design.

I thought the crossing was the new/old Washington obverse?🙀
🎶 shout shout, let it all out 🎶
Type is good. To me, it's a "sub-type" because one side is the same as before, but if sub-type is not being used, type works.
The crossing has Washington facing left as he always has. In 2022 the Mint will have a new profile of Washington facing right.
Not only are they facing different directions, Laura Gardin Fraser will finally get her due!
A W mint mark variety ??
... Hmm. I personally don't like it.
And I refuse to take it seriesly. 😉
Looks like the Series is one year, with three mint marks. And 100 varieties due to all the errors at the Philadelphia mint these days
How do you prove what year it was minted in. I'm hoping there is a mule out there hiding in a bank roll, like there were with the Sacagawea's $1 when they introduce the Presidential $1. 
What W mint mark are you referring to?
Depends. How many times did he cross the Delaware?

It is a singularity. Not a series. The obverse has Washington's portrait just a little larger and in higher relief. It's actually quite beautiful. This is only available in P,D, and S....no W's.
I dont think there is a "W" mint mark. Only the usual P/D uncirculated versions and S (proof) in clad and silver.
Got one in change recently. I like it. Very well-executed design, in my opinion. My quarter (now in a 2x2) is a 2021-D.

It's a gap coin. It fills the 10 month gap between two multi-year quarter series. The last coin of the ATB series (Tuskegee Airmen) was issued in early 2021. The American Women Quarters series (2022-2025) features a right facing George Washington on the obverse. Would love to see some W's minted.

It should be a part of the pre-state-quarters series, same as the 1976 Bicentennial quarter is.

I thought it was the new permanent reverse. After women and youth sports, it will revert back to crossing.
At least 3... the original crossing, the "retreat", and then the second crossing.
I quoted "retreat" because it was a tactical decision - from an unholdable position, not under fire.

It was going to be the permanent reverse after ATB. However, the current law doesn't actually sunset the Youth Sports coins after the semisesquicentennial in 2026.

But it may be the last with that classic obverse. We will never know, I'm keeping my small hoard. They will probably end up like the 1976 quarter - over-hoarded and then gradually used in circulation. They are likeable coins, in my opinion. Something to give away to your grandkids.
