I have had feast or famine results so far, I have found a lot of these designs: War in the Pacific (Guam) Lowell (Massachusetts) River of No Return (Idaho)
But only one San Antonio Mission (Texas) and none of the American Memorial Park (Marianas Islands) W's. I found roll after roll of the AMP's but none had the W's mixed in with them.
I am looking to possibly trade some of what I have for multiples of the San Antonio and AMP designs if I can find someone who has some extras.

I wish I had known about this. I rolled up just over $400.00 in quarters in late Sept when I was converting my change jar into bills.

Here's a pick of the reverse for those of us with bad eyes. A small W is bifocal territory for me. Interesting method of shipment from the provided site. The U.S. Mint ships quarters to Federal Reserve Banks and sub-treasuries in bulk bags of 200,000 coins each. One bulk bag of quarters weighs 2,500 pounds -- one and a quarter tons!The quarters are packed tightly in reinforced rectangular bags, then strapped with steel cables into special steel pallets. The pegs on the bottom of the legs of these pallets fit into the square cone-shaped holes in the top of another pallet's legs. This allows the bulk bags to be securely stacked and unstacked by a forklift.

Thanks Jim. Florida has gotten a lot of the W coins from what I can gather on some coin searching sites. Those bulk bags go to carriers like Brinks or Loomis, who break them out and wrap them in their own wrappers, then repack them into $500 boxes of rolled quarters that they deliver to their customers, be it banks, stores, whatever. While you can buy those bulk bags directly from the US Mint, they charge you about $1500 for a handling charge.
The best so far is when I look at a roll and a W coin is on the end that you can see.

Had never heard of this. Dumped out my last jar of quarters (450) and found one with the W. I have about 1200 dollars in quarters, but most would be pre 2019. I'll keep an eye out for them. Thanks for the heads up

I had not heard of this, but will now be on the lookout. I barely ever pay in cash anymore so getting change is not like it used to be. Maybe I will go buy rolls of quarters and trade them back in after I go through them.

With 2 million of each design, is it really rare? Just asking.
Yes, they are. Not like, you can retire kind of rare, but minted at the rate of 185 regular P or D coins for each of the W mint marks. Supposedly lowest mintage of a mint Mark since a 1932 quarter variety.

if you're looking, odds seem good that you'd find one...
Roughly 1.85 billion America the Beautiful quarters were minted in 2018 (945 million at the Philadelphia Mint, and 908 million struck at the Denver Mint). If ATB quarter production remains the same this year, the odds that any one 2019 quarter you get in change will be a 2019-W West Point quarter are 185 to 1. This assumes that none of them will be pulled from circulation, which will obviously not be the case.

These aren’t easy to find! I see people are selling these for $30 per quarter. Today I got $500 worth of quarters. I have gone through half of them and found only one with “W”mint. I found 16 with “D” mint which I won’t keep. I have found two old regular quarters so far with no mint, but I don’t think they are worth anything.
