Early Find or First Week Of Discovery?

@alaura22- I never quite understood the Early Find or First Week of Discovery thing. I'd rather found an MS67 tomorrow, rather then found or have an MS64, 65 or 66 during The First Week of Discovery.
An MS64, 65 or 66 First Week of Discovery slab doesn't mean much to me.

What you guys state are facts. I just never bought into it.

No problem. They do fetch a premium. Thanks 🙏

Agreed, I don't get it either. I collect Seated Quarters though, so first week of discovery was sometime in August 1838.
Not a big deal, just something I was thinking about and thought I'd get some opinions.

I just like finding unique coins... No matter what week. Still looking for W quarters. Cheers, RickO
Hey @ricko- I bet your chances of finding a W quarter in the wild would increase 1000%, if you spent 50% less time on this forum. 😂 🤣..............Am I right? 😉

First week
I am strictly a PCGS man.
The coins that I have posted are just a part of my matched W quarter sets.
The 2019 are in MS66 and the 2020 are in MS65.
There are holes that still need to be filled but the 3 different sets are
1) First week of Discovery
2) Early Find
3) Business Strike.
I am in no hurry to complete them and I buy the missing ones when the price is right.

Kennedys are my quest...
Aren't they all business strikes?

So I don’t know if this is related, but I used to work with an engineer who told me that his father-in-law was the first one to discover the 1938 D/S Buffalo nickel in 1962, I believe. I asked him if it was for sale and I would be interested in purchasing it and discussions were ongoing. Nothing ever came of it. Oh well would have been neat to have had it.
The wooden slabs made it hard to see the coin.
Couldn't you say that about the entire hobby?
