SHeavin Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I was wondering if there was a category for coins bearing the 'W' mint mark for the coin designs that have circulated including the cents, nickels dimes, quarters etc. but excluding the bullion and commemeratives? I did some looking and didn't see a category for it in the competetive sets. If there is one one then I apologize and hope someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks!

JWhite001 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 HI there, Keep an eye out for West Point mint marks. They are worth significantly more that $0.25. They will have a tiny W to the bottom right of Washington's head instead of a P or D. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHeavin Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 Thanks for the reply! I have started collecting the quarters and then I got the bug and collected the Lincoln cents and Nickels with the 'W' mint mark. From there I had to then get the 1996 & 2015 dimes with the 'W' and now I'm on a mission to get any of the modern circulation type coins that have the 'W' mint mark including the anniversary Mercury dime, Standing Liberty quarter and Walking Liberty half since they also had circulating versions. I was wondering if there was a category that fits that bill in the competetive sets. I did create a custom set for it and it's been a lot of fun putting it together. I used to collect coins when I was kid and did start on the state quarters later in life when they came out. I held on to my collection all of these years and stopped expanding it but recently starting collecting again thanks to the release of the West Point coins. I hope the Mint continues to do releases like this since I think it has really brought a lot people into the hobby as either new collectors or guys like me who shook the dust off and got back in. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
