When the "states" quarter program rolled out in 1999 it brought a lot of collectors into the fold. Now however serious dedicated modern quarter collectors are probably around a couple hundred thousand in the US best guess.. I think long term everyone who wants one will get one, but the hoarders may have a say in that. The price may stay around $350 long term...

I want one for my grandson but my point here is that he may unknowingly be price gouging a few hundred people.
Sure he's making money but that's just how I fell.
I believe now that they are a $75 coin in a slab graded ms64.
The coins he is listing do not look all that great. Maybe 63's.
He is not price gouging anyone... by definition.
No one has to buy them.

Im just concerned about the fallout. Right now he is getting premium money.
How are all these collectors going to feel when they are selling for $100?
I suspect Rob will have a few upset customers.
I understand that its buyer beware but still.
But keep in mind : there are only 250,000. How many pure collectors won’t get one ?
With flippers finding piles of these they will be available in large quantities on ebay soon pushing prices down to $100-200 or so I'm thinking.

Agreed. The buyers have FOMO and are not convinced, as I am, that there will be an abundance being dumped on ebay soon with sellers racing to the bottom for pricing.

I don’t think someone can engage in unintentional price gouging. And even if they could, that’s not what this seller is doing.

If they are price gouging, so are a large number of other coin dealers who have prices I don't agree with.

Close to a Mint store, go buy something & get a free July 4th 25c. Happening at Philly & Denver I saw posted on facebook. I'm 70 miles from Denver so using 8 gallons gas & parking fees & time means this 250,000 made issue is not worth it to me. I would guess any purchase at USMINT table at FUN this weekend will get you a free Privy Quarter or two if you ask nice. Take kids and maybe each will get one too.
I suppose you guys are right he may not be price gouging. Im just thinking about future prices.
Buyers have a choice to buy or not to buy.
I choose not to buy right now.
I do want one when the hype is over.

I ordered $500 worth of quarters from my bank in Michigan. Picked them up today. They were all 2026 but so far haven’t found a July 4th privy mark. Checked $400 worth so far. All are from the Denver mint.

It’s not that “he may not be price gouging” - he’s not. If you’re not sure, you can look it up.
He’s selling non-essential items in a free marketplace. The fact that you think the price will decline from current levels, doesn’t make any difference. And even if the price does drop significantly, it still doesn’t make any difference.
I hope you can eventually acquire one at a level you’re comfortable with.

Rob is giving away around 100 of these totally free. Definitely doesn't have to do it. Gave 15 away on his stream today, another 15 on Friday and more this weekend.
I think those thinking this is going to be under $100 are dreaming, especially for fresh mint state coins. Sure maybe in a few years for the circulated XF/AU ones. MS64 and better quality will continue to be $300-$400+ all day long, maybe even more depending on how many of the 250k are saved before they start to circulate.

Let's be real. He is doing it for likes and subscribers. The YouTubers make money from advertisers.
If he was on here offering the free coins then I would agree he is paying it forward.

Dumb question but are these only from one mint, or are they on both Philly and Denver quarters?
The collector I met found them in a sealed box of bank rolled quarters ($500) . He said half the box was mixed rolls of national park/ statehood quarters (circulated) . Declaration of Independence quarters were all new rolls and many had no privy mark, while all those not bearing a privy were “P” mint. He said “ not one ‘D’ mint in any of them rolls”

I am seeing more and more reports that these are just being found in Philadelphia rolls. Hope that’s not true as my Denver rolls came today. Would love to hear if anyone has had any luck with Denver rolls.

It's a WANT, not a NEED.
No one needs to buy these quarters.
I was at a show in the St. Louis area today. A dealer from Oklahoma had stacks of the privy mark quarters all graded, mostly MS66 with some 67's as well. I didn't see any lower. I looked at the stacks long enough to estimate he had roughly 150 of them. Then I moved on because I'm not a buyer on them, he was in a conversation with someone else, and I was laser focused on my want list of Walkers.
Now that I finally had a chance to reflect on my day though, I'm kind of kicking myself for not circling back and asking what he wanted for them out of sheer curiosity.

Happy for him as he did the leg worth hitting up banks until he got uncirculated boxes. But wow, did the Mint do an absolutely horrible job at mixing these into circulation!!!
And we are surprised how? lol. Just like with the W mint stuff, they give a bunch to a contractor and trust them to do something. Ends up in a few spots and some people get lucky.
@MasonG said:

W quarters were distributed much better. This July 4th release was rushed and apparently dumped into a limited number of bank rolls.
I searched and found hundreds of each of the 10 W quarters but NEVER found more than 100 in a box and there are almost 10 times as many of each version.

Crystal Ball says $15 to $25 raw on this 250,000 coin issue. Depends on stock image versus actual image.
Premium $ for Fancy slab labels, various companies & grades, who knows $ ?
Collectors might go crazy for Poor 01 slabbed pocket worn pieces.
Your crystal ball would serve you better predicting the Powerball jackpot winning numbers sir!
Why are you wasting it's time asking about a coin you consider to be "clad trash"?

How'd you like to pay $650 for a quarter then a week or two later, get one in change.

Happy Shopping !
Crazy the guy has sold 161 at $650 ea. That's netting like $90k~!
Definitely something to profit on now. I'd see these at like $40-75 in not too long?

How is this price Gouging?
It's a WANT, not a NEED.
No one needs to buy these quarters.
Ok. So today is the 1 month anniversary of this post where @coiner stated the July 4th privy quarters price would be $100 or less and closer to $50.
My prediction was $160 or higher.
Checking Ebay completed sales documents that none have sold for $100 or less and most are selling for $155 or above including shipping fees.
Technically I lost the Price is Right game since I am just over but my prediction is much closer to the actual Ebay prices.
I will mark my calendar for September 5th for the next update.
I just saw some offered in a group for $125 ea. Sounds like you both set the range
My expectation is potential bottom of 75ish to like 125.
