Washington Silver Quarter Values & Prices

Most folks know that a silver quarter minted before 1964 is worth more than just face value. If you are one of those people having plans to sell silver quarters, knowing that they were made of 90% silver and 10% copper weighing 6.25 grams is important to understand if you are about to agree making a good or a bad deal.

1964 Canadian Silver Quarter Value

The Washington Quarter was first minted in the early 1930s, and has remained in circulation ever since. Of course, the biggest different between coins minted between 1932 and 1964 and coins minted nowadays is the fact that the former contains a good bit of silver, increasing its inherent value. The three designs of silver quarters struck between 1892 and 1964 offer an affordable and accessible way for inexperienced investors to start trading in silver. They are in abundant supply (with some notable exceptions) and generally have very low premiums above the spot value of the silver they contain. The mintage of both 1964 issues were enormous, but the coins are not that common in Gem condition. They are average rarity for the era and less common than some of the S mints of the 1940s and 1950s. The 1964 is slightly rarer than the 1964-D.

U.S. Mint
1964

1964 was the last year that 90 percent silver Washington quarters would be made for circulation. This was due to the rising price of silver, with a value that exceeded face value of the coins that it was in. With fervor growing over the coming end of the silver Washington quarters, coin collectors and bullion hoarders alike were hanging onto millions of these coins. The United States Mint responded by pushing out a total of well over 1 billion Washington quarters bearing a 1964 date.

Here’s a glance at how the mintages were spread across the Philadelphia and Denver mints, along with respective values:

  • 1964, 560,390,585 minted; $7

  • 1964 proof, 3,950,762; $11

  • 1964-D, 704,135,528; $7

*Values are for coins in a grade of Extremely Fine-40, unless otherwise noted.

Beginning in 1965, the United States Mint would begin making quarters from a 75 percent copper, 25 percent nickel composition. It would also cease placing mintmarks on coins in an attempt to discourage collecting. Further punishing coin collectors for the coin shortage, which was caused by silver hoarders, not numismatists, the Mint would not offer proof sets from 1965 thorough 1967, instead offering special mint sets, which mainly coins of lesser quality than proof coinage. Regular proof sets – and mintmarks – resumed in 1968.

After 1964, silver quarters would not be struck again until 1975, when 40 percent silver proof and uncirculated Bicentennial quarters were offered to coin collectors in special sets. 90 percent silver quarters wouldn’t resurface until 1992, upon the launch of the annual silver proof set offering.
