    All are PCGS graded coins. I have not looked at NCG coins yet.
    I feel that more dealers will soon follow with price reductions.

    I have no issue with anyone who's collecting these; have fun with that... but they are far from being a long-term winner imo. These will continue to drop a) as more get slabbed and b) as interest wanes. They are not particularly rare, and most of the big proponents of these are more into finding, "making" and selling them than buying them... and that doesn't bode well for long term value, temporary upticks notwithstanding. Gradual reductions in prices and the fact that many if not most dealers don't really mess with them are signs of that. From a personal standpoint... quite honestly, I could count the number of people who brought in a found one to show us on one hand, and who have inquired wanting to buy them on no hands. YMMV.

    I'm with you.
    As I am only a collector and not a seller, I can wait a long time to complete this set.
    It might take a year or five to do so but I will finish this set. This set will go as my entire collection will by being passed down to family child.

    My inference from the OP's posting pattern (where they seem to only post about W-quarters and nothing else) is that he is hoarding these coins, owning at least hundreds (maybe many more) and presumably all from circulation at FV.

    If this is "ballpark accurate", it makes a difference and explains his motivation.

    If he didn't collect the W quarters I suppose he'd be a hypocrite too.

    I never thought $10 was "trivial". As to long term potential I guess we'll just have to wait and see. One thing for certain though, if people ever start collecting clad quarters they'll find there are far fewer than generally believed. Many scarcities will emerge.

    Is there just the 5@ 2019 and 2020 W mint quarters? If so, why no 2021 W mint quarters? Never paid much attention to these modern widgets, just curious.

    It was a promotional thing by the Mint. Just two years from the West Point Mint with limited production.

    For quarters bearing the W mint mark, the years of 2019 and 2020 only.
    There were 2 million coins struck for each of the national park quarters for those 2 years.

    Thank you @OAKSTAR and @WAYNEAS. Was never interested in modern coinage, so never read or kept up with the "W" event, nor the "V75". Have always checked my pocketchange and in 3 years only found 3 "W" mint quarters and gave 2 to forum members collecting those and kept one for whatever. Lol

    They are not particularly rare

    Rare enough. For example, Marsh Billings mintage:

    P 304,600,000
    D 345,800,000
    W 2,000,000
    S 928,940

    They are a challenge finding, and lots of fun when you get one!! Either W or S is a win in my book.

    I was with you. I had heard about the W quarters thru all of 2019 but never paid much attention to it. With only 2M of each minted, I never thought I would ever see one in circulation.

    I was at the banks late in 2019 (Dec). For the heck of it, I asked the teller if she had 3 rolls of quarters. So I gave her 30 buck and I got 3 rolls. All brand new rolls with shiny enders. I got them home and 4 W's popped out of those 3 rolls! As soon as I picked myself up off the floor, the adventure started!

    Southern West Virginia. Have bought 50 or so rolls of qtrs and never found one "w". Gave it up. Bought the same amount of halves and got almost two complete rolls of 40% silver. That I continue to do.

    Yes, unfortunately your location is most likely the problem. The distribution of those W quarters was "suppose" to be evenly distributed throughout the country.... That never happened! I "think" the majority of the guys finding them were on the east coast....I think.

    However, your finding of 40% silver halves is very understandable. People dumping or spending those halves, not knowing they are silver. Nice finds! πŸ‘ πŸ‘

    Many claimed distribution was unfair however from what I remember we had members here in California, New Mexico, Colorado, New York, Maryland, Arkansas, Florida, etc....that all found many W quarters. More importantly they were found in rolls of P and D mints so in my opinion distribution was fair.

    The Mint distributed them to all the Federal Reserve branches throughout the country.
    It truly was a numbers game where the most successful members bought $500 sealed boxes of quarter rolls and searched them rinse and repeat. More boxes searched the more we found.

    Most importantly, these boxes were purchased during the active release months and years of 2019 and 2020.

    Also to make matters worse, there was another roadblock thrown at us...in 2020 banks were complaining of a "coin shortage" and getting quarters were very difficult.

    Actually, I do take interest. And, in fact paid $5--$10 each for several brought to me. Keep in mind, these quarters weren't made available to anyone in particilar, but released into the general public , for distribution. That, in itself , is genius. Also, that made the searching for them all the more fun.
    It did not cost a cent to embark on a search for any ...and for all. To me, that is most interesting. Thus, keeping our hobby alive for a new generation.
    Assessing value one any one in particular is also "key". The market dictates and it is all inventory or spare change few ask for. My question is usually one on one and involves asking: " what do you think it is worth and how much do you want ? ". After all, it is just a quarter :). If you can see what I mean. Most do not bother searching for hidden treasures. I haven't looked through the last forty thousand wheat cents I've purchased.
    I buy them for two cents and sell them for 4

    .

    My two cents isn't worth a buck, except to the one who values it.

    And just so we don't lose the integrity of the discussion, while the "w" mint seems like a fad with prices steadying and stabilizing, while bringing in new collectors, a sample of the coinfacts show that the lower pops are certainly not them. The P,D,S minted coins share that honor.

    And prices always depend on grade, at the top of the pops Circulated not so much.

    It was a blast searching for these coins , I found thousands them in 2019 but the 2020's were not sent to Albuquerque so did not get as many of them. I sold most of them including over 100 complete sets. I only saved one Lowell coin as it was the 1st one I got.

    I've found a total of nine from circulation, none in some time though. What I have been working on is a set in PCGS MS65. Nothing special, just a nice middle ms grade. I'm lacking the 2019 Americam Memorial and 2020 Marsh-Billings due to the fact of cost. Thus far I've picked up eight for $34 or less, that being the American Samoa a week ago, with the cheapest at $19 (Weir Farms) back in 2019. I'm patient, holding out for somewhere in the $35-40 range.

    I am bumping my old thread to the top.

    Just checked Ebay completed sales and I am happy to report that W quarter 2019 and 2020 complete sets are still in demand selling for well over $100/set 4 to 5 years after issue.😎

    Raw 2019-W quarters are selling for between $12 - $25 depending on condition and version with American Memorial and River of No Return the most expensive.

    Raw 2020-W quarters are selling for between $12 - $25 depending on condition and version with American Samoa and Marsh-Billings the most expensive.

    PCGS graded W quarters prices seem to be holding steady.

    Full disclosure, I did a quick check on most recent Ebay sales of "Uncirculated" coins.

    As always YMMV...

    I believe the S quarters were available to purchase directly from the Mint and easily obtainable. Also, I believe the Mint releases new S quarters every year.

    The W quarters were only available through distribution channels from the Federal Reserve branches, rolled randomly inserted in to newly minted P and D $10 quarter rolls by the armored car companies and only released to their customers in 2019 and 2020.

    Also, while CRH I have found over fifty S quarters in circulated rolls of quarters. Still have them but will probably just spend them.

    Comparing S and W quarters is like comparing apples and oranges.

    Interesting. The Numismedia FMV price of $6.60 for an MS65 W quarter is extremely low and I don't believe it is accurate. If you can prove me wrong I welcome you to post the proof.πŸ€”

    I don't understand why anyone would buy an MS61 grade W quarter unless they can buy it for $0.84 or less and crack it out to put in their album.πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

    The lowest PCGS MS65 W quarter price I can find on Ebay is the 2019-W Lowell which averages in the $20 range. As always YMMV and please provide updates if you find them for less. 🧐

    If anyone has the CDN and/or the CPG price guides please post the requested information.

    Also, I would appreciate Greysheet pricing as well.

    FWIW, I have found Ebay to be the best source for current market value of the W quarters but that is just my opinion.πŸ˜‰

    I do appreciate you taking the time to post and your continued interest in the W quarters!😎
