2019-W Quarter Errors
The 2019-W quarters mark the first time the West Point Mint struck quarters intended for general circulation. Approximately 10 million were produced across five America the Beautiful designs: Lowell, American Memorial Park, War in the Pacific, San Antonio Missions, and River of No Return. These low-mintage quarters are highly sought after by collectors, and error varieties add significant premiums.
