LOWELL HISTORIC PARK
QUARTER?
QUARTER?
QUARTER? >> Guest: LET'S DO IT.
>> Host: WHAT MAKES
THIS COIN REALLY
INTERESTING?
INTERESTING? >> Guest: ONCE AGAIN
THE WEST POINT MINT
MARK.
MARK.
MARK. >>
MARK. >> Host: THEY'VE BEEN
BUSY.
BUSY.
BUSY. >>
BUSY. >> Guest: THE UNITED
STATES GOVERNMENT HAS
DONE SOME COOL STUFF
THIS YEAR.
THIS YEAR. THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF
THOSE THEY'VE DONE
ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULARLY
ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULARLY ON.
ON.
ON. IT'S
ON. IT'S AMAZING.
IT'S AMAZING. SO THE UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT DECIDED TO
TRY TO MAKE -- PART OF
THEIR THING IS THEY WANT
TO MAKE COIN COLLECTING
MORE BROAD BASED.
THE FACT IS WE USE LESS
AND LESS COINS.
>> Host: SURE.
>> Guest: IT'S A HARD
THING TO DO.
SO WHAT THEY DECIDED TO
DO IS THEY DECIDED TO
MAKE -- WHEN I WAS A KID
GROWING UP, FOR YEARS
AND YEARS SEARCHING
THROUGH YOUR COINS WAS A
THING BECAUSE YOU COULD
ALWAYS FIND WHEAT CENTS,
MERCURY DIMES, INDIAN
HEAD PENNIES, RARE
DATES.
DATES.
DATES. THOSE ARE ALL GONE AND
NONE OF THE MODERN
REGULAR ISSUE COINS ARE
REALLY WORTH ANYTHING
MUCH MORE THAN THE
CHANGE.
CHANGE.
CHANGE. THERE'S NO INTRINSIC
VALUE.
VALUE.
VALUE. THEY DON'T EVEN PUT
COPPER IN PENNIES
ANYMORE.
ANYMORE.
ANYMORE. IT'S JUST MANGANESE AND
BRASS AND THAT OTHER
STUFF, NOTHING SPECIAL.
PEOPLE DON'T LOOK AT
THEIR CHANGE ANYMORE.
THERE'S A COUPLE GUYS
OUT THERE THAT LOOK FOR
BIZARRE ERROR COINS AND
SO ON, BUT IT'S NOT A
THING.
THING.
THING. SO
THING. SO THE GOVERNMENT
DECIDES TO MAKE IT A
THING.
THING.
THING. SO
THING. SO ABOUT A YEAR AGO A
BUNCH OF COIN DEALERS
GOT TOGETHER AND WE
DECIDED WITH COIN WEEK
THIS YEAR TO DO THE
GREAT AMERICAN TREASURE
HUNT.
HUNT.
HUNT. SO
HUNT. SO WHAT A BUNCH OF COIN
DEALERS DID IS THEY TOOK
KIND OF SOME OLD OR RARE
OR UNIQUE COINS, YOU
KNOW, AND JUST RELEASED
COINS INTO CIRCULATION.
WE LITERALLY JUST WENT
AND SPENT RARE COINS.
THE GOVERNMENT RELEASES
THIS COIN IN CONJUNCTION
WITH THAT.
WITH THAT. THEY PUT A WEST POINT
MINT MARK ON IT.
THEY'VE NEVER DONE A
WEST POINT MINT MARK
QUARTER BEFORE.
QUARTER BEFORE. THIS THIS IS THE VERY
FIRST TIME.
FIRST TIME. ALL THE QUARTERS THEY
MAKE ARE PHILADELPHIA,
DENVER OR SAN FRANCISCO
MINT PROOF COINS IN THE
PROOF SETS, BUT THEY'VE
NEVER DONE ANY WEST
POINT MINTED COINS.
SO NOT ONLY DID THEY DO
THEM, BUT THEY AREN'T
AVAILABLE FOR SALE
ANYWHERE.
ANYWHERE.
ANYWHERE. THEY RELEASED THEM INTO
CIRCULATION.
CIRCULATION. SO YOU HAVE TO FIND --
>> Host: NOW THE HUNT
IS ON.
IS ON.
IS ON. LIKE YOU'RE IN THE
GROCERY STORE LIKE
LOOKING AT YOUR
QUARTERS.
QUARTERS.
QUARTERS. >> Guest: YOU HAVE TO
LITERALLY FIND THEM
BECAUSE IF YOU FIND ONE
OF THESE COINS -- NOW WE
HAVE67ING WHICH IS THE
HIGHEST AVAILABLE GRADE.
WE HAVE WHAT'S CALLED
EARLY DISCOVERY, SO THIS
WAS DISCOVERED IN THE
FIRST 30 DAYS WHEN THEY
RELEASED THEM.
RELEASED THEM. WE HAVE THE HIGHEST
GRADE EARLY DISCOVERY.
THAT'S WHY IT'S 179.
LOOK FOR YOUR LOWELL
QUARTERS.
QUARTERS.
QUARTERS. IF YOU FIND ONE WITH THE
WEST POINT MINT, IT'S
WORTH BASICALLY 20
BUCKS.
BUCKS.
BUCKS. IT'S LIKE FINDING A $20
BILL IN YOUR CHANGE.
>> IF I FIND ONE WITH
THE WEST POINT MINT,
IT'S WORTH $20.
LOOK AT YOUR QUARTERS.
>> Guest: THAT'S THE
POINT.
POINT.
POINT. THAT'S WHY WE'RE CALLING
THIS THE GREAT AMERICAN
TREASURE HUNT IS WHAT
THIS IS RIGHT HERE IN
CONJUNCTION WITH LIKE I
SAID, NATIONAL COIN
WEEK, A COUPLE WEEKS AGO
AND DEALERS, WE RELEASED
-- I DON'T KNOW --
PROBABLY A COUPLE
THOUSAND BUCKS -- I
DON'T KNOW THE EXACT
VALUE -- A COUPLE
THOUSAND BUCKS VALUE OF
RARE COINS INTO
CIRCULATION.
CIRCULATION. WE JUST SENT PEOPLE OUT
AND SPENT THEM.
DEALERS DID IT ALL OVER
THE COUNTRY.
THE COUNTRY. LITERALLY HUNDREDS AND
HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF
DEALERS JUST PUT STUFF
OUT THERE, LINCOLN
CENTS, SOME INDIAN HEAD
PENNIES, KIND OF ALL
THOSE THINGS JUST TO
MAKE PEOPLE LOOK AT
THEIR A THING CHANGE AND
THE GOVERNMENT DID THAT
AS WELL.
AS WELL.
AS WELL. THEY KIND OF PIGGYBACKED
ONTO THAT EFFORT.
>> Host: WHO DID YOU
FIND THAT FOUND THESE?
>> Guest: WELL, SOMEONE
HAD GOT A BAG OF LIKE
500,000 QUARTERS
500,000 QUARTERS DIRECTLY FROM THE MINT.
THEY LITERALLY HAD A
TEAM OF PEOPLE SEARCH
THROUGH THEM AND PULL
OUT SOME OF THE WEST
POINT MINTED COINS.
YOU NEED LIKE A FORKLIFT
FOR THERE.
FOR THERE. >> Host: THEY HAD TO
SEARCH FOR THEM, TOO,
JUST LIKE WE WOULD.
>> Guest: SURE.
THEY BOUGHT $50,000
WORTH OF QUARTERS.
THEY GOT SOME WEST POINT
MINTED QUARTERS.
MINTED QUARTERS. YOU CAN'T GO BUY THEM.
YOU HAVE TO LITERALLY
PICK THEM OUT, WHETHER
IT'S OUT OF YOUR CHANGE,
A ROLL, THE BANK.
DOESN'T MATTER HOW IT.
THEY'RE DOING IT FOR ALL
FIVE QUARTERS THIS YEAR.
THIS IS THE FIRST ONE.
THAT'S WHAT THIS COIN
IS.
IS.
IS. THE
IS. THE KEY IS NOT JUST THE
WEST POINT MINT MARK,
WHICH IS REALLY COOL
WHEN IT COMES TO THIS,
BUT THE REAL KEY IS THE
GRADE ON THIS COIN.
YOU GO OUT THERE AND DO
ANYTHING YOU WANT.
GO TRY TO FIND YOU A
MINT STATE 67 W MINTED
LOWELL QUARTER, OKAY?
I FOUND AN NGC AND A
PCGS.
PCGS.
PCGS. I
PCGS. I THINK THE LOWEST PRICE
NGC WAS $2,000 AND THE
PCGS WAS 2,400 FOR 67s,
SAME THING AS THIS 67s.
THERE WAS A COUPLE OF --
WE HAVE SOME PCGS 66s
FOR $249 ALMOST SOLD
OUT.
OUT.
OUT. >>
OUT. >> Host: HOW CAN THIS
BE $179?
BE $179?
BE $179? >> Guest: WE JUST HAD A
GREAT QUANTITY ON THESE
COINS IS WHAT IT COMES
DOWN TO BECAUSE THE
BRYCES VARY DEPENDING
WHEN IT WAS BOUGHT
BECAUSE THE PRICES ON
THESE ARE WIDELY
VARIABLE IN GRADE.
ANY COIN IS LIKE 20 TO
$25 IF IT HAS THAT WEST
POINT MINT MARK ON IT.
CHECK YOUR CHANGE,
FOLKS.
FOLKS.
FOLKS. LOOK FOR THEM.
THEY PUT THEM OUT THERE
AND I THINK THEY'RE
GOING TO DO A FAIR
NUMBER OF THEM.
LIKE A MILLION COINS.
>> Host: ODDS ARE YOU
COULD FIND A COUPLE
MAYBE?
MAYBE?
MAYBE? >>
MAYBE? >> Guest: THEY DO LIKE
700 MILLION QUARTERS.
IT'S NOT LIKE THERE'S
ONE IN 1,000.
KEEP IN MIND THE $20
COINS ARE NOT GOING TO
BE MINT STATE 67.
>> Host: RIGHT.
>> Guest: IF YOU FIND
IT IN YOUR CHANGE, IT'S
PROBABLY MINT STATE 63,
64.
64.
64. IF
64. IF YOU GET THAT
CERTIFIED, IT'S PROBABLY
A $79 COIN.
WHAT YOU HAVE IS A
UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO
GET A VERY FEW AND ONLY
THE EARLY RELEASE WILL
BE MINT STATE 67.
>> Host: BECAUSE ALL
THE REST WILL GET BEAT
UP.
UP.
UP. >>
UP. >> Guest: THEY'LL GET
BEAT UP PRETTY QUICK.
>>Host: WHEN YOU SAY
LOWELL --
LOWELL --
LOWELL -- >> Guest: THAT'S JUST
THE NAME OF THE QUARTER.
>> Host: IT DOESN'T
MATTER WHAT THIS IMAGE
IS.
IS.
IS. >>
IS. >> Guest: IT DOES.
THIS IS THE LOWELL
IMAGE.
IMAGE.
IMAGE. >>
IMAGE. >> Host: IT HAS TO HAVE
THE W MARK.
>> Guest: THEY'VE BEEN
DOING THE NATIONAL PARKS
QUARTERS SINCE 2010.
WE'RE AT THE END OF
THAT, OKAY?
THAT, OKAY? THIS IS -- THEY'RE DOING
IT ONLY FOR THE 2019s
AND THE LOWELL
MASSACHUSETTS QUARTER,
MASSACHUSETTS QUARTER, WHICH IS WHAT THIS
QUARTER IS, IS THE VERY
FIRST ONE THAT'S GOT A
RELEASED WEST POINT MINT
MARK.
MARK.
MARK. ALL
MARK. ALL THE QUARTERS THIS
YEAR THEY'RE DOING LIKE
THE MARITIME ISLANDS,
THE WAR IN THE PACIFIC.
WE HAVE THE SAN ANTONIO
MISSIONS COIN WHEN THAT
COINS OUT.
COINS OUT. THAT WILL BE A WEST
POINT MINT.
POINT MINT. SO THE FIVE NATIONAL
PARKS QUARTERS FROM THIS
YEAR WILL ALL END UP
WITH W-MINT MARKS ON
THEM.
THEM.
THEM. >>
THEM. >> Host: WE HAVE TO
LOOK FOR THE Ws.
>> Guest: IT'S ONLY IN
2019 COINS.
2019 COINS. IT DOESN'T GO BACK.
2019 LOOK FOR THE W.
JUST KEEP DOING THAT.
IT'S LITERALLY FINDING
$20 BILLS IS WHAT IT
COMES DOWN TO, VERY,
VERY COOL, BUT OURS IS
HIGH GRADE.
HIGH GRADE. >> Host: THE REASON
THIS IS FUNNY IS BECAUSE
MIKE GOES I WAS IN THE
GROCERY STORE LINE AND
THEY GAVE ME CHANGE BACK
AND I SAID DID YOU LOOK?
HE SAID HECK, YES, I
LOOKED.
LOOKED.
LOOKED. IT'S LIKE PRINTING $20
BILLS IF YOU CAN FIND
ONE.
ONE.
ONE. IF
ONE. IF YOU FOUND ONE IN YOUR
CHANGE YET?
CHANGE YET? >> Guest: NOT YET AND
I'VE BEEN LOOKING.
>> Host: IT'S FUNNY
BECAUSE ONCE MORE PEOLE
BECOME AWARE THIS IS
HAPPENING, I ONLY KNOW
THIS BECAUSE MIKE
BROUGHT IT UP ON THE AIR
A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.
ONCE IT STARTS GAINING
THAT TRACTION AND PEOPLE
REALLY START HUNTING FOR
THEM, THAT'S JUST A COOL
STORY.
STORY.
STORY. >>
STORY. >> Guest: I WAS AT THE
BANK TODAY AND I SAID
WHY DON'T YOU GIVE ME A
ROLL OF QUARTERS?
I'M GOING THROUGH THE
QUARTERS WHILE THEY'RE
DOING MY DEPOSIT AND
TRANSFER.
TRANSFER.
TRANSFER. >> Host: BUT NO LOWELL?
>> Guest: NO.
BUT I'M GOING TO LOOK.
>> Host: CAN I ASK YOU
ANOTHER QUESTION?
ANOTHER QUESTION? WHEN DO WE KNOW THEY
RELEASE INTO CIRCULATION
THE OTHER FOUR?
HOW DO THEY ANNOUNCE
THAT?
THAT?
THAT? >>
THAT? >> Guest: THEY'RE ABOUT
TO RELEASE THAT NEXT
QUARTER.
QUARTER.
QUARTER. THAT MAY BE OUT RIGHT
NOW, AS A MATTER OF
FACT.
FACT.
FACT. THOSE WILL START SHOWING
UP.
UP.
UP. >>
UP. >> Host: START HUNTING.
>> Guest: SO ANY 2019
QUARTER, THEY'RE ONLY
NATIONAL PARK QUARTERS.
YOU HAVE TO FIND A 2019
QUARTER AND THEN YOU
LOOK FOR THE W-MINT
MARK.
MARK.
MARK. >>
MARK. >> Host: GOT IT.
>> Guest: YOU HAVE
LOWELL, MASSACHUSETTS,
LOWELL, MASSACHUSETTS, SAN ANTONIO MISSIONS,
WAR IN THE PACIFIC,
MEYERIAN MARIANA
MEYERIAN MARIANA ISLANDS.
ISLANDS.
ISLANDS. WHAT YOU WON'T FIND IS
MINT STATE 67.
HUNT FOR THEM OUT THERE
YOURSELF.
YOURSELF.
YOURSELF. THAT'S A COOL THING, BUT
FOR COLLECTORS TO BE
ABLE TO GET THIS THING
THAT IS THE BEST OF THE
BEST, YOU HAVE TO GET
THE MINT STATE 67.
IN TERMS OF PURE VALUE
AND COLLECTIBILITY YOU
WON'T BEAT THIS PRICE AT
$179.
$179.
$179. WHETHER YOU GO TO PCGS
OR NGC, IT WASN'T ANACS,
I THINK THEY WANTED $800
OR $900.
OR $900.
OR $900. THE PCGS OR NGCs ARE A
COUPLE THOUSAND BUCKS.
HIGHEST GRADE, LOWEST
PRICE IS WHAT WE'VE GOT
HERE.
HERE.
HERE. THERE NOR TICKET 8 ARE
NO68s ANACS OR
OTHERWISE.
OTHERWISE. 67 IS THE HIGHEST
AVAILABLE GRADE.
AVAILABLE GRADE. THAT IS WHAT WHEN HE
CALL A REGISTRY COIN
WHICH IS
