Sun almost ready to set on Kansas state quarter

It’s almost time to say goodbye to the Kansas state quarter. Doesn’t it seem like only yesterday we first got a glimpse of that buffalo and sunflower motif?

I was just discussing that with a caller the other day. He was wondering when the West Virginia state quarter launch ceremony was. When I told him it was Oct. 14, he seemed incredulous, asking me if I was sure of that date.

Released on Aug. 29, it does seem like Kansas’ moment in the sun was all too fleeting.

Already, two-roll sets of the quarter have gone off sale, due to exhausted inventory. The last known sales figures are listed below. Same goes for the 25-coins rolls of the 2005 Sac. golden dollar, also gone due to exhaused inventory.

First-day coin cover fans rejoice: the sales figures are back and they include the Kansas cover. Have a question? Send all queries to my e-mail address at Peter.Lindblad@fwpubs.com.
