So...I now have a clear tube full of 2022 quarters (both Maya & Ride)...grouped into P D & S coins...and I can actually see a visible demarcation line between the S coins (which are brighter on the edge), than both the P&D coins.
Now why would the edge coloration be different?
Shouldn't the strip/blank source material be identical across all three mints?
Has anyone else noticed this?
Do you know the source of the P&D? Are they from USM rolls or are they from bank rolls?
Just to elaborate...on the right side of the tube are 12 Maya & 12 Sally Ride S coins (24 in total), while the left side of the tube contains 5 P & 5 D Sally Ride coins (10 in total).
[[Do you know the source of the P&D? Are they from USM rolls or are they from bank rolls?]]
And yes...all coins are from the Mint rolls that were offered for sale.
Silver proof is/was up. Didn't see 3 roll set. Off topic but don't want to find the correct post, the 4 coin gold proof was up (for backorder) for about a minute. I tried to add to cart but was gone before I could even do that. If I checked that first I likely could have grabbed.

The "S" mint Quarters
Does anybody really think that 300,000 of these quarters of each, made for collectors (since they weren't put into ciculation) will be worth anything in 5-10-15 years?
This is a fad and will (sooner than later) fade away.
They will be worth 25 cents when this is all over.
If by chance I got one in change I would just spend it
I'll just keep collecting coins, but not these.
The only people making money on these quarters are the dealers that were able to buy in bulk and then pass them off to the public at outrageous prices.

Respectfully, if someone is collecting Washington Quarters, that coin is (possibly) part of the series. Ultimately, if you are going to make an argument for the 2022 coins based on the mintage relative to the rest of the series then you are, consciously or unconsciously, considering the series not an individual coin.
There's a reason those 2017 coins have not appreciated in value. But feel free to reject any data that doesn't support your thesis.

I'll also add this...other than collectors...who was throwing $$$ at the Morgan and Peace dollars last year?
At least these quarters are known by the general public and young collectors (if there are any left), might need to buy a few to fill an album one day (assuming anyone still does that).
But like I said previously...I'm enjoying the hunt...and for a relatively low investment...you might actually have a $ upside too.
“”U.S. Mint uncirculated coins are struck on special presses using greater force than what is used for circulating coins, producing a sharp, intricately detailed image. The coins are sealed in blisters and displayed in folders.””
A business strike coin meant for circulation can also be referred to uncirculated until it is actually released into circulation. Ms M is referring to coins that were struck for collectors and sold directly to customer by the mint and and were never intended to be placed into circulation. A few do end up in circulation when Grandma's collection gets spent.

It was meant as a joke...hence the smiley face. I apologize if you took it as an insult. But you did seem to be dismissing the fact that the 2017 quarters are...well...Washington quarters.
If I may be serious. The "W" quarters might be different because of the "W" mint marks. However, "S" Mint marks are common and I think you have to consider these as part of the series. Now, I'm not arguing that these coins don't have a premium. I'm not arguing that these coins won't always have a premium. But you can buy 2017 quarters for $1.
300,000 is a LOT of coins. 300,000 is NOT a lot of Washington quarters. The only way these are "key" is if you look at Washington quarter series collectors OR Women's quarter sub-series collectors. In that context, I don't think 300,000 gem unc coins are likely to have LONG TERM appreciation. They will, like most commemoratives, spike now and level off and decline later.
@WQuarterFreddie will be happy to learn, if I had to bet on one or the other, I would take the "W" over the "S". While there are more of them - and I don't think they will have long-term value either - there is the possibility that people want them just for the "W" and there aren't other "W" quarters to be had. The only people that will want the "S" quarters will be either full Washington series collectors or sub-series collectors. In that context, I do think the 2017 coins are instructive.

Actually, a LOT of Morgan/Peace dollar coins were sold to "non-collectors" or maybe "non-traditional collectors". I still see routine ads for Morgan or Peace dollars targeting the general population for these "rare" "once in a century" coins.
@Jzyskowski1 said:
JM. They are different. Please read.
Different than the "enhanced uncirculated" coins of 2017? Absolutely. On the other hand, that was the FIRST SET OF COINS ever to use the enhanced uncirculated finish. Humbly, the "uncirculated" finish is not, by itself, a reason that anyone would purchase these coins.
I'm well aware of the Mint's "uncirculated" finish. But, so what? The question is still: who will collect them. Unless you are arguing that someone who doesn't collect Washington quarters will want one because it is "uncirculated", your collecting base is still the two groups I mentioned: Washington quarter collectors and sub-series Women's quarter collectors.
The "uncirculated" finish is used for virtually all of their NCLT that is "business strike". So, by itself, it isn't special.
And, I would point out, that U.S. Mint Uncirculated sets also use the "uncirculated" finish. So, if you think that special finish is reason to collect it, you should start loading up on Mint sets. They've only sold 200,000 2021 Mint sets to date which makes those P&D "uncirculated" quarters more rare than your "uncirculated" S quarters.
Obviously, the P&D are available in business strike also. But that's exactly why you need to look at it in its entirety and exactly why the 2017-S coins are not so easily ignored as a data point. Those are the ONLY non-proof S quarters of 2017. Those are the ONLY enhanced uncirculated quarters of 2017. Those are the FIRST enhanced uncirculated coins EVER. There are only 215,000 of them...and you can buy them for $1 each.
You might also consider the 2019 "rocket ship" Kennedy coins. Also a "special finish" designation (proof-like), very hot upon release. Very affordable today.

Yeah, you're right. 2022 coin collectors would never collect a coin as old as five years. That's probably why I have a hard time selling my 1932-D and S Washington quarters. They are too old!
On a separate note, it has nothing to do with what I do or don't have in inventory. I had hundreds of Morgan/Peace dollars last year. I have never been a long-term believer in them either and told everyone here that.
silver proof quarters set still up at 5:13. The mint is playing now you see them now you don't. Maybe they found another

Again, it was a joke. Note the smiley face.
I did not buy any yet. And that matters because...???
I also don't have any 2017 quarters left... well, I might have one set of 69s left. I'll have to look.
I really wish you could explain what has changed. In 2017, those coins were hot then not. [Like 98% of all Mint issues.] We were talking long term appreciation. What has changed that will make someone in 2030 want a 2022-S and not a 2017-S. You have yet to give any explanation of that.
I have indicated that I think they are worth more than face and will continue to be worth more than face. I also think the price will peak in the next 6 to 9 months, like 98% of all Mint products. So what? I'm not insulting your mother.
I've also giving very rational reasons as to why I say that. All I get in return is: things have changed without any indication of what has changed.
Morgan dollar price trajectory wasn't changed by anything....
If my friends at the mint hadn’t removed my 3- roll sally set I might have made it.
Last year the mint put out this line and it haunts me 😂. “ to enhance your mint experience “.
Is anyone else getting their experience “enhanced “ ? 😉🙀🦫
More soup for you. The mint has apparently found a "hoard" of Quarter Silver Proof Sets as they are still available since yesterday. So much for almost gone thru enrollments. Earlier this year in another thread I warned that the Mint has some new tricks and plans to game the gamers this year. Expect them to find another "hoard" of Sally Ride quarters soon.

300,000 is a LOT of coins. 300,000 is NOT a lot of Washington quarters. The only way these are "key" is if you look at Washington quarter series collectors OR Women's quarter sub-series collectors. In that context, I don't think 300,000 gem unc coins are likely to have LONG TERM appreciation. They will, like most commemoratives, spike now and level off and decline later.
@WQuarterFreddie will be happy to learn, if I had to bet on one or the other, I would take the "W" over the "S". While there are more of them - and I don't think they will have long-term value either - there is the possibility that people want them just for the "W" and there aren't other "W" quarters to be had. The only people that will want the "S" quarters will be either full Washington series collectors or sub-series collectors. In that context, I do think the 2017 coins are instructive.
Actually, a LOT of Morgan/Peace dollar coins were sold to "non-collectors" or maybe "non-traditional collectors". I still see routine ads for Morgan or Peace dollars targeting the general population for these "rare" "once in a century" coins.
Only 215,000 in existence

Different than the "enhanced uncirculated" coins of 2017? Absolutely. On the other hand, that was the FIRST SET OF COINS ever to use the enhanced uncirculated finish. Humbly, the "uncirculated" finish is not, by itself, a reason that anyone would purchase these coins.
I'm well aware of the Mint's "uncirculated" finish. But, so what? The question is still: who will collect them. Unless you are arguing that someone who doesn't collect Washington quarters will want one because it is "uncirculated", your collecting base is still the two groups I mentioned: Washington quarter collectors and sub-series Women's quarter collectors.
The "uncirculated" finish is used for virtually all of their NCLT that is "business strike". So, by itself, it isn't special.
And, I would point out, that U.S. Mint Uncirculated sets also use the "uncirculated" finish. So, if you think that special finish is reason to collect it, you should start loading up on Mint sets. They've only sold 200,000 2021 Mint sets to date which makes those P&D "uncirculated" quarters more rare than your "uncirculated" S quarters.
Obviously, the P&D are available in business strike also. But that's exactly why you need to look at it in its entirety and exactly why the 2017-S coins are not so easily ignored as a data point. Those are the ONLY non-proof S quarters of 2017. Those are the ONLY enhanced uncirculated quarters of 2017. Those are the FIRST enhanced uncirculated coins EVER. There are only 215,000 of them...and you can buy them for $1 each.
You might also consider the 2019 "rocket ship" Kennedy coins. Also a "special finish" designation (proof-like), very hot upon release. Very affordable today.
Did you miss out on the enrollment? I’m sure you have people for that but did you miss one?
2017 long time ago. 😉🙀🦫

Yeah, you're right. 2022 coin collectors would never collect a coin as old as five years. That's probably why I have a hard time selling my 1932-D and S Washington quarters. They are too old!
On a separate note, it has nothing to do with what I do or don't have in inventory. I had hundreds of Morgan/Peace dollars last year. I have never been a long-term believer in them either and told everyone here that.
quarters silver proof sets up for grabs now
silver proof quarters set still up at 5:13. The mint is playing now you see them now you don't. Maybe they found another
500,000 sets that did not get added to original inventory. "You never know what you will get OR WHEN"
JM. Your really pushing it today.
Does everyone have to appear stupid to you. Don’t talk to me like I’m an idiot.
2017 was before the pandemic and the problems there and now we have a war. Never said anything about not buying 2017 You used that cute remark to insult me.
Facts are you didn’t answer wither or not you have a seat at the table as far as a 3- coin rolls go.
I’ll remind you that the world has changed since 2017.
Cute: “ that’s why I have a hard time selling 32’s. “.
You have a hard time being civil and polite when your talking to us little folks. And you really should leave the humor to others. Your brand of humor seems to include a little jab, a big air of superiority.
So much knowledge to share. Sad you feel the need for such a pompous attitude.
My respect level for you is dropping, I’m certain you could care less. Kinda sad. 🤨🙀🦫

Again, it was a joke. Note the smiley face.
I did not buy any yet. And that matters because...???
I also don't have any 2017 quarters left... well, I might have one set of 69s left. I'll have to look.
I really wish you could explain what has changed. In 2017, those coins were hot then not. [Like 98% of all Mint issues.] We were talking long term appreciation. What has changed that will make someone in 2030 want a 2022-S and not a 2017-S. You have yet to give any explanation of that.
I have indicated that I think they are worth more than face and will continue to be worth more than face. I also think the price will peak in the next 6 to 9 months, like 98% of all Mint products. So what? I'm not insulting your mother.
I've also giving very rational reasons as to why I say that. All I get in return is: things have changed without any indication of what has changed.
Morgan dollar price trajectory wasn't changed by anything....
Sally went for a Ride for a second this AM...

If my friends at the mint hadn’t removed my 3- roll sally set I might have made it.
Last year the mint put out this line and it haunts me 😂. “ to enhance your mint experience “.
Is anyone else getting their experience “enhanced “ ? 😉🙀🦫

[[Is anyone else getting their experience “enhanced “]]
You mean like my proctologist "enhances" my experience...yes...just like that!
More soup for you. The mint has apparently found a "hoard" of Quarter Silver Proof Sets as they are still available since yesterday. So much for almost gone thru enrollments. Earlier this year in another thread I warned that the Mint has some new tricks and plans to game the gamers this year. Expect them to find another "hoard" of Sally Ride quarters soon.
