So over the past 4 months I've been keeping my eye out for the W quarters. I read the articles. It looked like fun. Two friends had found at least 1 a piece and thats all I really wanted to find. Just one. I started getting a random roll or 2 every so often. Nothing to speak of for months. Then, this past Friday I get 5 rolls from the bank. All the enders are San Antonio Missions. I figure this was my best chance yet! First 2 rolls are duds, the last 3 rolls produce 2 W's a piece. I was excited being a complete newb to the game. So I went back to the bank and got 5 more rolls from the same teller. That produced 3 more making a total of 9 San Antonio W's out of 10 rolls. I don't know about the odds and everything but I felt like I got pretty lucky. Should I resume this charade monday or should I let sleeping dogs lie? 2 of them are in really nice condition so I'll have my first graded coins eventually! My plan is to trade the rest for the others I don't have. Thanks for reading. Have a nice day!

Go get as many as the bank will allow you.

Regardless of how many you find, always keep UPGRADING with what you have, keeping the Best-of-the-Best and trade or sell off the rest.

I went back today and got 6 rolls. Only 1w. Maybe I just got lucky the other day. So 10 total. I may go for a whole box one of these days.

One W per six rolls is only a disappointment because your early success was so good. Even one per six rolls is far above average. Some people have searched many boxes and not found one.

I got three this week - after going through three boxes of quarters, $1500 worth. Plus one Kansas error. Six in a roll is wonderful.
