I would absolutely keep it and hope to find an even better one. This one is nice, but probably not "slab nice".

Nice find!  Its way to banged/scratched up to be worth having graded but a nice album coin for sure.  As an example there is a seller on another coin forum selling MS64 slabbed Lowell W qtrs. for $20, unless you submit under the bulk tier it would cost you more than $20 to have yours graded and yours will only grade as AU.  Keep it and enjoy the find.

I'll agree with the others - keep it but don't grade it.

If you'd found it early on you might have been able to cash in but that fad / craze faded fast.

Actually, if it is the dealer I am thinking of,  I recently bought a few coins and tokens from his shop. 

I have found that many coin dealers are lacking in certain social skill. This particular guy is not so bad, once you have spent some time talking to him. I imagine he gets a lot of people coming by, convinced that they have found the coin that will fund their retirement, and he may have thought you were another one of those.

The Mississippi Numismatic Association show is the first weekend in May in Biloxi.  You should try to make it.

Keep it! I have yet to find a single W in any denomination. My collection is built on keeping good but not great coins while looking for better versions; I suspect most are.

I am planning to go, if I can finesse a scheduling conflict. Another member here, CoinsandMedals, lives in Oxford, so I am going to see if he can make it, as well. As far as criteria - bring money. Admission is free, although, since it is at the coliseum, there may be a parking fee, but you are almost certain to find something you want to buy .Probably many things. The choices range from colonials to moderns, with some ancients, foreign, tokens, medals, and paper money thrown in for good measure. Plus, you can usually find plenty of collecting supplies and reference books.

Keep in mind what I said about the dealers, though, and don't expect all of them to be all cheery. Coin dealers, for some reason, are a different sort of breed. While some can be the nicest people you would ever want to meet, many seem to be lacking in certain people skills, and some are real curmudgeons, to put it nicely. Based on only a few times dealing with him, I would put the dealer you met somewhere in the middle.

Sigh... I miss getting to go to coin shows... Or much of anything really... One day the kids will need less time and attention...

Hang in there. It won't be long before one, then both of them, will be able to attend with you.

Aside from the odd 1996-W dime that may have escaped from a mint set, or a 2019-W that escaped sets this year, the ONLY denomination coin you should be able to find in circulation IS the2019 quarters.

Heh, yup. I am remarkably lucky (?) in finding mint set escapes/silver/etc that should not be circulating. Down Philly way we seem to get a lot of that, and I'm pretty sure that the silver at least is coming from private gambling of some sort. However, my main hope for getting these is estate/collection sales. Have a few more years to go before that's a remote possibility.

Well I've got at least 10 1996-W dimes, two each of all three finishes of the 2019-W cents, but as of today, I've still never encountered even one 2019 quarter in circulation from any mint, P,D,S, or W. And I'm just up the rail line in Harrisburg.

Did I read this wrong VKurtB...No 2019 quarters at all?

You read it right. Not a single 2019 quarter all year, from circulation. I have the ones I bought from the mint, but only those.
