The 1995-W dime was never put in circulation. Only in mint sets.
Same with the 70-D half. That wasn't the point. There's only 2 million of each. They are $10 coins.
There may only 2 million of each but I doubt there are 2 million collectors of the 5 piece set willing to pay $100 for the 10 coins without an album to put them in.
I don't think $100 is unaffordable for the set. 70-D and 96-W coins have been $10 coins for decades. I think there is room for the W quarters to be $5 to > @OAKSTAR said:

Unless I'm misunderstanding your post, this is a little more then a $10 coin.
First of all, I'm talking about the Kennedy and the dime as points of comparison. The W quarters may not have sunk to their final level yet.
Second of all, i was talking about generic Uncs. Just because an MS-64 1884S Morgan is a $110,000 coin doesn't mean a VF 1884-S Morgan isn't a $40 coin.
Yes, if you can get a W quarter into a 69 holder, it's a 5 figure coin.
The 2 million 70 D Kennedy and 96 W dime were originally all released in collector sets whereas the 2 million of each of the W quarter were released into general circulation, so less survival of bu, maybe 50-70%? That said I don't see a set of 5 circulated bringing $100, if so I've got a bunch fresh from rolls I should unload for big $$. Also have to take into account number of interested collectors. I would guess there are more Kennedy collectors, then the quarters, and last the dimes?
Whether these W's were a fad, a hype, a joke, a craze, a rage or positive or negative for the hobby, they help fund my addiction to complete albums with the key dates.
A year and a half ago, when you can sell $10 rolls of W's for between $550 and $650...........well, you know the rest. I was lucky. I was in the right place at the right time and took advantage of it. I know others haven't been as lucky. I have paid it forward, helping other guys over the past year.

My point basically is that without a slot in any albums there will not be a long term gain in popularity as they will not be looked for to fill those slots. They probably will hold a value of between $5 and $10.

I agree that without album support, the popularity will dwindle. Though it would be interesting to see if these coins get a reverse condition census, such as top dollar being paid for an authentically worn AG-3 example.

I'll be dead before one is "authentically" worn that much. It'll take 30 or 40 years.
I just found my 1st W quarter in the wild today. I’ve been looking since they came out.
Members I have done business with: Silverman68, jfoot13, GAB, ricman, Smittys, scrapman1077, RyGuy, Connecticoin, Meltdown, VikingDude, Peaceman, Patches and more.
I was lucky enough to be in one of the areas that the mint favored with the W quarters and had many hundreds and even as much as 112 in one box but have sold them all as they finished releasing the final version. Early on I was making as much as $100 for a single coin in 2019 as collectors were paying big money for coins to get graded.

So if there was an album created, the interest would go up? There wouldn't be as many albums as usual, more of a specialty type album...perhaps printed to order. Was there ever a slot for a W dime in any album??

Yes, most albums that list "Roosevelt Dimes - with Proofs" include the W Dime, Dansco, Whitman, and Littleton have all included the coin. Likewise, even the Whitman folders have had a slot for the 1970-D, the 1894-S dime, and I've handled dozens of earlier examples that have slots for the 1913 Liberty Nickel while stating the mintage of "5 Only."
What is interesting is when an album does say "with Proofs" but excludes the 1950-1964 proof issues which aren't pricey, but will include coins worth hundreds of dollars more.
Printing to order though? Now that's an idea!

So you think the album companies will start including slots for W quarters? I haven't seen any or even looked. I did create/fabricate a custom page for the back of my Dansco for the modern types. I should probably think about a place for these W's.

I doubt it. I remember they tried to get the Wisc double dies put in albums and they would not do it so I doubt if they will do it for the W's but that would be a good idea to do both the Wisc and the W's in new folders.
BUT then the mint would just come out with another gimmick to screw up the new folders.

Yes, that's true. I always thought the slot for the 55DDO in the old Whitman folders (not sure if they still include that today) was a joke and gimmick. Might as well include the S-VDB in that group as well!

I didn’t think they came in rolls - they were mixed in with P and D mint coins randomly, is that not correct?

They came scattered in rolls and we had to sort through them to find the W's.
I think they are cool. When you think the first different mint since 2006 and that it can only be gotten via circulation, it kind of adds to the "rarity". I have only found 4 of which I gave 3 away and kept 1. I wish they would do the same with the other mints to include C, CC and O. Again the circulation deal is pretty neat idea. Amazing the mint to do something just for the individual collector.

They are needed to complete your Wasihngton quarter circulation strike sets. Most people, even coin roll searchers like myself, will not find all 10 different "W" mint quarters in circulation. So, I would say yes, people are still buying them and will always be.

Easier for a casual collector to determine that a '68-s is a proof than one of many '62s.

There was a dealer at the TNA show yesterday with a couple of rows of the W quarters. Some did sell.

The 1st 5 I found a few thousand W's but the mint changed where they were shipping to so I did not get as many but did find some of each one for 2020,
