The Great American Coin Hunt

The Great American Coin Hunt was launched in 2019.   Furthermore, the West Point Mint released special edition collectors coins into circulation featuring the “W” mint mark.  The V75 Privy mark was added along with the “W” mint mark on the 2020 America the beautiful national park quarters only.

Moreover, not only are these unique quarters already far above face value in the secondary marketplaces due to their low mintage, other rarities were distributed into circulation.  The collaboration of coin dealers around the country contributed.

“Fort McHenry was first established as a national site on March 3, 1925.  After British forces burned buildings in Washington, D.C., they moved on to attack Baltimore, Maryland.  Francis Scott Key was a poet-lawyer on a truce ship near the fort as he saw the fort bombarded all through the night.” 

Moreover, “the next morning he saw that the flag was still flying over the fort, and was moved to pen the words to “The Star-Spangled Banner.”   Fort McHenry was named for James McHenry, the Nation’s second Secretary of War.” – usmint.gov

If at any time you feel a collector or dealer is being rude or unpleasant, kindly thank them for their time and remove yourself from their presence.  Take your coin elsewhere for another opinion.  Remember that it’s no more fun to be the giver of bad news than it is to be the receiver of it.

Start at a coin dealer or pawn shop nearby, and they’ll let you know immediately if it’s a coin worth sending off for grading.  Moreover, remember that not all collectors like the same errors and varieties.  There are many reasons to invest your time and energy in the coin collecting hobby.
