I 5x'd mine
ok,
over a week ago some dude was rambling about coins at the poker table. i mean, just out of the blue he starting talking about them like he was in the middle of a conversation. . i asked him wtf was he talking about. he said he was opening up new 2019 rolls of quarters looking for the the ones struck with W or westpoint mint.
i had no idea what he was talking about because i viewed coin collecting is usually something done by peeps over 70 or collections that were inherited from peeps over 90 that died.
so i researched this and it seems like there is some collectible value in these W quarters. apparently their being bought sold at over 10 bucks each, and some fetch more.
so i research this more and get this, they made like 10 million of them..lol..which is nothing compared to how many non W quarters they make. i can't ever imagine them carrying more than a nominal amount of premium, and i certainly won't be busting any rolls of quarters open looking for them.
come to think of it, i rarely carry cash or change and i don't even think i've seen a 2019 quarter. so the lesson is look at your 2019 quarters and pull out the W ones. or if you're really broke, start busting open rolls of new quarters.
this is where it gets good. the dude kept talking and i humored him by listening. he rambled on about about this proof coin and said they were going to sell out quickly when they go live on the 14th.
i didn't think much of it but i looked into it. it turns out the us mint will be issuing 30k of these proofs later today. 30k may seem like quite a bit and it is, but with coins like this it's a very low amount for them to issue. there has been talk on the coin forums that it might be next to impossible to obtain one of these because the us mint website might be inundated with so much traffic and more people trying to check out than they have coins available.
it turns out some people have a buy out on these proof coins at over 3x the value of them. and one person wants to buy multiples at over 500 each.
enjoy
