I sell it now while it’s pop 2 and go buy something more established.
I got a Tuskegee Airmen quarter in change yesterday and I set it aside because I really like it. Certainly not an MS68, but the price was right and I think it looks sort of proof-like.4 -

I have heard of a few people get Proof like from Mint rolls. Thanks for answer that is what I was thinking.

@richerickson58 .... Welcome aboard. Can you post pictures of your quarter? Good, clear pictures of obverse and reverse would allow us to assess the coin. Cheers, RickO

Aren't these available in mint wrapped rolls. And wouldn't high grades be expected?

Ultra high grades are absolutely NOT expected. 68's are extremely rare on S-mint quarters. The coins are killed with dings/etc. as they come from the mint. Then the ones that are rolled can have even more damage from the rolling process.
The 68 above should go for $500+ with $1k+ not being unreasonable right now. Several 67's so far have gone for $200.
I'm sure others are in for grading, so chance pop will go up and 67 price will go down. Doubtful that a ton of 68's get graded. Congrats on the find.

Got one MS68 and one MS67+
Several more were probably MS66 and MS67.
My first attempt grading Quarters
Maybe 20 coins out of 8 rolls +/- were worthy or lacked distractions.

mint wrapped rolls (directly from the mint) or bank wrapped rolls (that got shipped in $50,000 coin bags to Fed Reserve banks and then rolled by local carriers and put in $500 boxes)? I would think mint wrapped rolls that went from the press to the rolls would have higher grade coins unlike bank rolls that gets shipped around the country and then rolled with carrier rolling machines.

Your coin might be the only ms 68? Pop 1
Good Luck. Have one, right below yours, ms 67. Except, mines an error

Out of that Mint Roll I found a 66, 67 and the 68. I believe there are at least about 5 that would grade out MS-65. I have another roll and have not opened it yet.

Not an S. Just an example of the reverse with really shiny/smooth fields. Here’s a horrible phone pic.
I’m not sending it in or anything like that.
(Man, this reverse is hard to get a decent phone pic of! The red is my phone, best I could do tonight)I have found two 2021-D Tuskegee quarters in pocket change that are in good shape and holdered them. Submitted a 2020-S Salt River last year that I got in a roll from the mint and it came back MS-65. The only quarter out of the roll that I thought was worth submitting.

I think the Coinfacts 2021-S value is wrong. It has to be a typo. Copied and pasted from another quarter value and they have not corrected it yet. They had a 2021-W Tuskegee populated earlier this year and they finally took it down. @CoinFacts

S mint coins may rarely be found in the wild, but to get rolls of them you buy them directly from the mint. There are no OBWs for S mint quarters since they are sold only on the Mint web site.
Unlike what one might expect the rolled and bagged coins off the web site are not treated with delicate means.

Also, Coinfacts has the 2021 Tuskegee quarter Type 2, Clad listed, with only P and D mints only. I hope they get this corrected soon.

I got a box of quarters from my bank this past week. Almost all the rolls are BU 2021-P Tuskegee but there are a few older coins mixed in, maybe 1 per roll. So, question is, are they someone's rejects or would the federal reserve put older coins in with the brand spanking new ones?
Second question, should i be looking for any errors on them?

The bank ordered the box and it did come glued but it wasn’t a box with holes on the top. 🤷♂️

The coin rolling contractors for the US Mint mix in some older coins with the new during some of the coin rolling and wrapping processes. They are boxed, then shipped out to financial institutions. The U.S. Mint uses a contractor that uses speciallly printed coin wrappers. I did pick up a roll of mint wrapped 2000-D Massachusetts quarters from my bank last year. I would like to think they were turned in by a customer and did not come directly from the mint.

If the box wasn’t glued shut I would say you definitely got rejects.
It is possible to open 1 end, push the coins out, re-insert, then re-crimp.
I used to take dollar and half rolls to my dump bank using that.
sometimes old coins are still in the rolling machine tub when brand new coins get dumped into it. Not unusual for an old coin or two two show up in a a roll of new coins.

The contractors (Loomis, Brinks, etc.) work for the commercial banks. They get new coins from the FED reserve branch when they need them to supplement their existing supply of recycled coins that come from the banks.
