This 1976 quarter is a collector's dream. Its distinctive design includes a drummer on the back and 1776-1976. A 40% silver variety makes it unusual and precious.
Key date for collectors is the 1932-D Washington quarter. Its mintage is 436,800, one of the lowest in the Washington quarter series. This quarter can sell for almost $20,000 in good condition.
Like its Denver-minted predecessor, the 1932-S is popular. It's rare in uncirculated form despite having a somewhat higher mintage than the 1932-D. Quarters in perfect condition fetch $15,000, making them valuable.
Due to low mintage in proof sets, the 1942-P proof quarter is rare. These quarters were carefully struck to look mirror-like. A well-preserved 1942-P proof quarter can fetch $12,000 because to its rarity and strike quality.
The Denver mintmark was imprinted over the San Francisco mintmark on this quarter, a rare blunder. Collectors find this inaccuracy unique and intriguing because it was found years later.
Another early Washington series quarter, the 1937-S, is rare. This quarter is hard to find uncirculated because to its low mintage. This rarity is worth about $8,000, especially for attractive specimens.
Due to wartime metal consumption, 1943-S quarters are rare in good grades. A good quarter from this year can cost over $6,000, making it desired among collectors.
The 1950-S/D quarter is another overmintmark error. The San Francisco mintmark was put over Denver this time. Well-preserved mistake coins cost over $6,000.
