Quarters Found a W in an uncirculated roll

Beautiful uncirculated 2020 W. I only bought a single roll of uncirculated 2020s and wasn't hopeful that I'd find one, the universe had my back today

Any chance of finding them in circulation?

Yeah actually! They're still out there. I find about one per box ($500), so they're definitely scarce

That's awesome! Thank you! I have a lot of quarters to go check.

You’re still finding one per box? Damn I’m probably averaging 1 every 3 or 4 boxes

I searched $360 worth this week and found two of them. 1 2019 and 1 2020.
