2020-W Salt River Quarter Has Been Found!
Looks like the first Salt River W has been found in Arkansas. Listed on Ebay so maybe not the first......

Second one found in Nevada!

Third one found in California!

None found here and likely never will be.....
Oh well, we also do not have a high crime rate, no riots, no crowded roads (even at 'rush hour')..... and wildlife often walks through.. (deer, turkey, raccoon, beaver, skunk, bear)....As far as I know (and have asked at stores and one bank), no W quarters have appeared in this area. Cheers, RickO4 -
Uh, trying to understand the connection there?

Just a heads up that I have confirmed with someone that their Salt River W has been submitted and received yesterday by PCGS for the prize. They are waiting to hear if they are the first and only one or if they have to share the prize money. Unfortunately it's not ME😥

Went to my bank today and got my first box of NEW coin this year! The good news is they are Salt Rivers. Bad news is there are no W enders and the first 14 rolls had no W. The irony is not lost on me!🙄

Been getting rolls of 2020 D Samoas here from bank this past week. No Ws. Went to a vending machine this morning to see what I can find in the wild. So far 8 out of 12 have passed the appearance stage. Will be less once under the loupe and penlight.

Here in Albuquerque the Salt Rivers have not arrived yet. My grandson has been hitting the laundries and car washes and cleaning out their coin changers. He has been finding Weir W's like crazy but I am not about to do that. It is wonderful to be young and full of energy instead of old and frail like me.

Not looking. Good luck to those who are!

Looked through half the box...no W yet😥

The W's seem to show up when you least expect them. In change, or a vending machine seems to where everybody is finding them it seems.

None here as of yet in N.E.

The ones that get these graded in the first week of discovery may have a gold mine on their hands unless a lot more of them are discovered quickly as the clock is ticking away.

The 2019 W’s have not arrived in change for me yet...never mind 2020.

Well both sellers have more than one as they list more after selling one but your point is well taken that there are not many found yet. I am holding out hope that my box has a few W. Will update later after I search the rest later today 🤞

I picked up 2 more Salt River boxes the other day. I have made it through 1 box and no W's.

You could be very right as I have found that the banks have seen no instructions from the fed to distribute more than 1 or 2 rolls to a single customer as of yet .

Desperate people are snapping up those rolls that contain no W's like crazy on ebay. A friend of mine has picked yup several boxes of them but is not selling them, just opening rolls and not finding any. These rolls that do contain a W or 2 were salted just to make it look like they have released them. PCGS has their first one already and the clock is ticking on the first week of discovery coins so they will be releasing the W's after next week when the pressure is off everybody trying to win the prize.
Just my 2 cents worth but I have said from the beginning of all this that something is rotten in it all. The mint screwed everything up with this promotion , they had 2nd thoughts about this year, and I guarantee they will do something different next year.0 -

I believe the Mint released the Salt River W quarters last week like Coin World reported. There is no way the Mint could have predicted the effects of COVID-19. I for one think they are doing the best they can under these trying circumstances.

If you believe that I have a water wonderland to sell you in the Mohave desert to sell real cheap. They released a few mixed in with many boxes that contain no W's like the box I had in early July. Next week you will see the release of however many they feel like releasing. Conspiracy theory? Maybe, but they are just trying to cover up their A$$ for their mistake in doing this again this year. This is my opinion but everbody is entitled to their own. We are like sheep being led to the slaughter my friend. At least you were smart enough to purchase some of these coins and get them off to PCGs and you will reap a huge reward in doing so unless PCGS extends the first week deadline.

“you will reap a huge reward”
Tommyrusty7.... I need one for my registry set, but could care less if I buy a first week or an early find coin. Pcgs does not reward added points for first week over early find coins as far as I know. Time will tell, but I am not sold on the added huge rewards for first week over early find coins. For that matter, a simple blue label coin will suffice just fine for my registry sets.

As you know I am not interested in graded coins but others put great value in having the first week of discovery coins and when the first week designation goes away with only a few coins graded as such the price of them will climb. I sold all my grated coins couple of years ago but do know how people relate to these things. They love PCGS over NGC and ANACS and always pay more for them.

Keep in mind that the Salt River quarters were released back in June, but the W quarters were only added at the end of July - So many Salt River rolls will not have any W's...

I have 4 different banks & CU's that I have accounts at.
Most tell me no coins but sometimes I get lucky.

I don't buy into the conspriracy theories. The mint makes these coins for circulation. We already knew the Salt River Ws did not make it into the normal boxes. Things are a bit chaotic at the moment in case some people haven't noticed.

The mint actually intended for the W's to enter circulation individually through the banks and not in bulk quantity via $500 boxes. Current distribution of the W's only screwed the roll hunters and flippers. This is the last year of the NP quarter series with the exception of one in Jan. 2021, the Tuskagee Airmen. The mint is yet to announce if there will be a W version in 2021.

Did anyone see The King's Ransom (TKR) video? He found 40 W'S in two boxes.

Any advice for getting boxes right now? Being told on repeat there’s a shortage and 1/5 roll limit for individual/business.
Feel free to PM me.

If you're lucky, your drive thru commercial lane will exchange a sealed box for an open box. Hard to find a seller of sealed boxes. Worst case, buy bank rolls at the drive-thru.

Made it through the second box...... no W's
At least I have 2 boxes to try and exchange with a bank to get more.

Good luck! The Fed has arranged it so only certain areas get the W quarters and only in certain amounts for now. The banks are tired of the extra fees that they have encountered having to get the extra boxes of quarters they have had to purchase because of the popularity of the W's. We will see how this plays out as the weeks go on. It still appears to me that somebody has their fingers in the pie.

No W in my Salt River box either. I now have a box of old coin and Salt Rivers make up the most of them...at least 80% but odds are slim they have any W. I will post results by end of day🤞

I have stopped looking for them.
What stupid idea will the mint come up wit next/
They are the ones that have created this whole fiasco!0 -

If your banks just got them in then you stand a good chance of finding some. Good luck and I will buy some if you find any so please PM me!
