AboutMyCoin2021-S Uncirculated Washington Quarter
A 2021-S uncirculated Washington quarter is copper-nickel clad over a copper core with no silver in it at all and was sold by the Mint in rolls and bags rather than released into circulation, so every one of them was bought by a collector rather than spent.

This coin was never released into circulation. The Mint struck it at San Francisco and sold it directly, in rolls and bags, so it will not turn up in change and every one that exists was bought by somebody who meant to keep it, and the Mint has published no figure for how many.
No mintage is stated because none has been published for one of the two reverse designs struck that year. Adding up the rest would give a figure smaller than the true one and call it a total.
The Washington quarter series
Washington quarters dated 1932 to 1964 are 90% silver and worth many times face value; those dated 1965 and later are copper-nickel clad and worth twenty-five cents, apart from the silver proofs sold in collector sets since 1992.

The metal changed mid-series, so the date decides the metal and the metal decides most of the value.
