PCGS: $5000 reward for first 2019 W quarter found!

Has anyone seen this on their website? They are giving $5000 for the first W Mint quarter sent in to them for grading. It will have a special insert that says “pcgs first discovery” on it. How sweet would that be? Then you could probably sell the slabbed coin on eBay for $$$$ too!

I would say that we have our own " FIRST TO REPORT on TN" of any CRH that submits a pic of a W qtr., but it cannot be taken from an existing picture i.e. from the mint report.
Also give the date, time, and place where found. Let's make it a FUN HUNT, good luck to everyone.

W Mint Lowell Park quarter in $160 of Mariana Is rolls. Kinda weird- it was the only Lowell coin in all 16 rolls. Literally as if someone threw it in the middle of the batch.

Congrats, baddbluff. I don't hunt quarters, but I intend to give a whirl for the summer. My eyes will be bleeding looking at mintmarks, but all just part of the hunt. Would you mind taking photos obverse/reverse outside of the plastic. It looks like a fantastic strike inside the bag. I have all the San Fran business issues, and the strikes have been tremendous almost proof-like. Whether more care is taken with the dies or greater striking pressure, something causes the better strikes than what is found with Philly/Denver. With the tiny mintages of the business strike San Fran issues and the tiny mintages of the West Point issues, I would expect the same.
