After a couple years I finally got a West Point quarter in my change. The thing stood right out. I was turning in the weekly bottles at the redemption center and when the guy handed me $4.60 for the three bags I had one quarter looked quite different. It was the 2019 River of no Return coin. Nice looking though you could see it has taken a few hits.

Awesome!
What a fantastic way to catch a "W".
I have never found one that way.
Congrats.

That leaves just a few of us who haven’t scored one in the wild!
Wait,wait,wait…Joey who has found 17,420 W quarters CRH has never found one in the wild? I’m shocked 😳. My cat is shocked 🙀. Well I’ll be danged 😉
🎶 shout shout, let it all out 🎶
Excellent! I've never found one in the wild, but my wife has in some change from the local grocery store. I couldn't believe it...that's such a lottery to find one in change!!!
I have one but it’s in pretty rough shape and some nasty-lookin’ sticky stuff on the obverse as a sort of bonus .... and I didn’t even find it, my buddy found it along with several others roll hunting and gave me his “cull” - which I will cherish forever!!
Like I said - pretty rough shape but she’s all mine ...
I was going to ask, what's the point of looking for those. Then I realized it's the West point.
I was not aware that was even possible. I thought they were all found by roll searchers. This is exciting to me!
I'm tempted to pick up a few boxes of quarters from the bank the redemption center uses for change and see if they got a few loaded boxes of them.

Still looking. Haven’t found one yet.
Just goes to show you that they're still out there.
I personally thought they were long gone.

Haven't found one in the wild yet.

Don’t use a lot of cash, but always check my change. None in the wild (or anywhere, for that matter) for me. My only one is from a giveaway here on the board. I love it.
@MaineJim.... Congratulations.... I am still hunting for my first one in the wild....and I use cash whenever possible to get change.... Glad to see you find one, means there are still W quarters out there. Cheers, RickO

I got one in my change from Burger King a couple years ago. It looked nicer when I 1st got it compared to the other quarters.
Its my "BK" quarter. For grins n giggles I sent it in with other coins in an order (MS63) ...
(And no I didnt get fries with that
Me too and I get change almost evry day.

Good idea Jim!
This is how I found all my W's. Through bank/customer rolls. Working on my 93rd!
Just do it guys.
Good Luck

I have yet to score one in the wild.
If I give you my address, can someone throw one up on my porch.
I think doing this would still classify as being found in the wild. Lol

Strictly speaking, it means there was one out there... 😉
Excellent - still "0 FOR" in change or rolls..........

THAT must be my problem - wrong type of magnifying glass...............last time I used one........

I've come up empty as well. The Lonely "W" Hearts Club.
I think they should be called qWarters.
Well, got rid of that carpenter ant problem anyway.
What's so special about these W quarters?
As far as I can tell there are only 2 million minted of each one. 5 different quarters in 2019, 5 different quarters in 2020.
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
Were all 10 quarters the W mint? or did P & D mint the quarters too those years?
I lost interest on the quarters after the statehood series ended in 09.
They made all the other quarters also in those years. P, D, & Proofs.

I have yet to score one in the wild. > @Steven59 said:
Only released through change, no bags and rolls or sets.
There were P, D, and S uncirculated versions as well. The 2019 W's were just that West Point mint 5 x 2 million each. The 2020 W's also had a privy mark for the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II 5 x 2 million each.
Well, let me explain. Lol.
I found this, 2020 W Tallgrass Prairie, in a bank roll. Sent it to PCGS for grading. It came back an astonishing ms 67! Nearly the highest grade.
Sold it for another,
Astounding $750!
Interested in W quarters yet?
To answer your last question.
In those two years, 2019 and 2020, the Mint did also mint P,D and S's.
This "W" event was the greatest thing the Mint ever did since producing the "Silver Coinage".
Wish they would do it again!

--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.I've seen the Idaho quarters in change but don't pay attention to any of them anymore.
Maybe I'll look now. Are they worth more than 25c ?
There's a thrill to finding them and even circulated ones have a value above 25c maybe $5.
If you are a quarter collector I think you would definitely want a 2019 and a 2020 to have the 2 types.
