I recently started collecting after seeing a few random videos about the silver market. I started out doing coin roll hunts and checking some of the change I had around the house. It has rapidly evolved into a minor obsession with all kinds of coins. Being a computer engineer and prior service member, I have been conditioned to absorb a lot of information for work. This new hobby has lead into learning a great deal in the last few months. So much to learn and I feel rather pathetic at times about how enjoyable a roll hunt can be for me. The wife is not to happy about me taking over the dining room table a few nights a week but my son's live it. Have not bought a membership yet, but I'm interested in doing it soon as I have a few coins I want to have graded. My interest are somewhat evenly split between the precious metal stacking and numismatic collecting. I see value in both. Definitely on the hunt for the West point Quarter but I am somewhat suspicious like the OP about the process of releasing the coins into circulation. Would love to see what the logistics or strategy that is used in scattering the W coins into circulation with P and D mints. Found almost an entire roll about two weeks ago full of P and D war in the Pacific quarters but they have been sparse since. Lowell's are very abundant though, I have 4 of the die chip errors. I suspect many others do as well and would love to hear some opinions on what the real value of the Lowell errors are. I see such a wide spectrum of valuation on the web.
