What year was the last uncirculated S mint quarter minted, other than 2012?
Also, this mint mark was not minted for circulation was it?
Lastly.......is this something we should have paid attention to?
It may have been discussed here but I just saw one today in a coin shop ( had no idea)

<< <i>Are these worth stashing away? >>
I think so. Less than 75 cents each for uncirculated 2012-S quarters in a reasonably popular series with barely half the mintage of the 1950-D nickel, and much of this low mintage tied up by roll and bag collectors.
Although 2013-S mintages may be higher, 100-coin bags of this year's first two ATB quarters are available from the Mint at $34.95 per bag. That's 35 cents each for quarters that likely will still have reasonably low mintages.
Low risk, high potential reward IMO. Especially as more collectors come to realize that these coins exist.

A question about the uncirculated S-mint ATB quarters. In 2012 weren't they sold in a five-coin soft pack as well as in rolls?
If so, how were they offered in 2013 and 2014?

I was buying them in 2012, and never saw any offers of five-coin soft packs from the Mint. There might have been privately assembled soft packs, though.
It turns out that some of the 2013-S quarters had even lower mintages than the 2012-S. A few of the designs came in around 1.3 million.
I think they all will increase in value, but slowly as awareness grows and album spaces for the "S" coins become more available.

proving something does not exist is harder than proving something does exist because the lack of notice could be called an oversight.
I do not recall a 5 coin S mint soft pack.
Here is a Early 2013 NN Mint Stats
look under the heading "America The Beautiful" (note there is no 5 coin circulating mention. There is only 1 circulating entry for 2012)
I recall the S Mint only ever coming in rolls and bags. I recall the soft packs were the P&D only (set of 10).

I definitely think so. Especially as the mintages just seem to be getting lower. Some of the latest ones are even near or lower then 1 million as per the redbook.

That tells me what I need to know. Thanks!

All but one of the 2014-S issues are still available from the Mint, so final mintages aren't in yet. The first 2014 release, Great Smoky Mountains, ended with a mintage of about 1.36 million.

...One thing I'm happy for is to see that the Washington spaghetti hair-do disappeared on the new quarters! Nice to see the original mop from 1932 again...
