Hunt Update #1

Hey fellow YNs and ANA members,
This blog today may be my shortest to date, but it has a lot of info(if you know me, you know I hate short, trying-to-earn-points blogs). First of all, I will be doing these updates after each hunt I do, so stay alert for new updates. Second of all, @CoinHunter and @thatcoinguy post 'update blogs', so after cutting my blogs/month to 2, I decided to add another. So recently I have searched about 30 rolls of quarters(not counting the $1000 in quarters which I searched throug and found six Ws). Quarters are of little to no value, besides $0.25. Why I say this is because 99.9 percent of quarters are common. The other 0.1% are the possibly good coins you may find. Recently, there are Ws, silver quarters can still be found, and the Wisconsin State error is the other notable coin. But if you take out that, you have a pretty dull series. Bicentennial are nice, specific States are cool, and the ATBs have popular designs. Well, we collectors love finding hard-to-find rarities like the ones I mentioned. Also, Ws are flying out of circulation, so that's another reason we search through quarters. But in late February, I decided to search the center console of a car which had recently gone half-cross-country. A news report states that "W quarters were mixed in with P and D quarters on their trip to the Federal Reserve". They hit the banks still mixed in, then they hit local businesses. But in places like NYC, these coins were used a lot and Ws were picked out of circulation by the many collectors that reside their. In less visited towns and cities, you can imagine many are still circulating. So a trip half-cross-country might come up with a few. That was the introduction. Once I started looking at the change, I saw what I thought was a W(sometimes I imagine a mintmark which isn't actually on the coin). After looking closely at it, I found it was a W(a 2019-W WIP). This is exciting because it is the first W I was able to keep(I did not keep the six I found at my Grandfather's home), which is really great. Well, I think I'll wrap this up by saying that my next blog will be after my next hunt. Thanks for reading,
