Well...I've been busy the last couple weeks parked on the couch after going to various banks looking for the "W" quarters mixed in with regular quarters. As there have supposed to have been many coins from dealers thrown into circulation, this is what I found. I found enough AU state and America the Beautiful quarters to fill a couple albums. However, with the amount the mint made, there is no reason to keep any so they all went back to the coin machine for someone else.

After the 2nd week of trying, I finally got four 2019-W Lowell NP quarters. They went to get graded and two have come back as MS-64, a decent grade.

In the quarters, and I went through an even $10,000 in quarters, $500 at a time, I found three silvers including a 1964 in AU, several foreign coins, two enameled quarters which also went back, a couple nickels and a couple dimes in the rolls.

I found a total of 28 of the Lowell "W" quarters. Ten more are being sent off for grading, I picked the ones with the best strikes and fewest marks on the coins. I think at least two will grade MS-66.

$10,000 in quarters weighs a LOT. Anyone else find anything good?

Nice going. Your frequency of "W" finds seems to have increased considerably. Lots of work but worth the effort. Keep
it up !!
 

I did a box of 500$ over the weekend totally skunked, only 1 2019 Lowell and it was a P....
 

I cheated and got some Marianas rolls off Ebay at $15.00 each, they had a few Lowell's in them. 15 of the quarters were in the rolls. All but one came from one teller on one trip. She had several rolls and that's where the rest came from. I think I'm done for now. What we find now will have gone through the coin machines a few times and will be AU not BU. They'll have plenty of scratches on them.

Ya I thought it was a good idea but I didn't enjoy it, unless I get one in loose change non for this guy lol
 

Your hard work paid off! :icon_thumleft:
 

Fourteen of mine will be graded and slabbed. Hoping for something higher than MS-64.
