I found a San Antonio Missions quarter with “P” Mint mark in fantastic condition in one of 10 rolls I picked up at my credit union this morning in Austin, Texas just 9 days after release & Austin gets its circulating coins from the Denver Mint with the “D” Mint mark. Very strange for sure!

Thank you to Seth Riesling for mentioning the name of the release bank for the San Antonio quarter 2019. Unfortunately, I can’t afford to travel to San Antonio but the Frost Bank collection sounds interesting. Alas. With respect to the accidental release of the business strike San Antonio quarter to a restauranteur in TX, someone in the Mint must have goofed because Wells Fargo is not the release bank. Mistakes happen!

Frost Bank of San Antonio, Texas (one of the oldest banks in the state) is conducting the ATB quarters rolls exchange with “P” Mint mark coins according to the Mint Director. Frost Bank has a large old Frost family numismatic collection which is partially on public display in its lobby in its downtown San Antonio, Texas headquarters, including a very rare copper jola of New Spain (Texas).

Correcting myself. The accidental release was before the Mint began selling the quarters August 26, not the ceremony.

Which bank is doing the release at the ceremony? Someone in TX got rolls from Wells Fargo in advance of this ceremony. I might have read that on the coin update.com. If Wells Fargo isn’t the release bank, then someone at the Denver (or Phil) Mint goofed and distributed them by mistake. I should have looked to see whether what was released to the restaurant guy happened to be Philly or Denver. I’m trying to figure out who goofed: the Mint or Wells Fargo. I kind of don’t think it was a conspiracy!!!

Rhonda Kay Unser –

You forgot to mention that the Mint will be sending “P” Mint mark coins from Philadelphia (which serves states East of the Mississippi River for circulating coins) to this coin exchange in San Antonio, which is served by the Denver Mint for its circulating coins (all states West of the Mississippi River). An unusual situation for this special San Antonio, Texas event.

Unusual design for the ATB series – I like it
