Quarter value.

Many still circulated in good condition some Gem quality is scarce and collectors hoping to be lucky

Why quarters are valuable object

Commemorative, rareness, and conditions of the quarters are the thing that inspires collectors to seek
out and buy these quarters. It is true that some have hobbies in collecting rare things and enjoy
having one of the kind objects, in their collections.

Regardless, the 1946 Quarter value will be decided by the rarity of the coin and the conditions, the
oldest the coin the higher in value it has especially the one that has been kept out of circulation
making it more valuable in any way.

So in the 1946 quarter case, the coin in circulation will be worth its weight in silver, and the silver melt
has the value of $3.52 on November 3rd, 2022. That amount of value is based on the current
calculated price of the silver pot at the price of $19.47 per ounce

Values of the 1946 quarter

The 1946 quarter that doesn’t have any mint mark will be worth around $6.50 with the quarter in
extremely fine condition. But the quarter that is in uncirculated conditions will have a higher price that
ranges to $9 with the quarter having an MS 60 grade, but the one with a grade of MS 65 will have a
price of $35.

The 1946 Quarter value of the D quarter of 1946 is worth around $6.50 with the quarter in a very fine
condition, with the uncirculated ones with a price of $9 with an MS 60 grade and $33 with a quarter
grade of MS 65. Then there's the S quarter of the 1946 quarter have a value of $6.50 with extremely
fine conditions with the uncirculated on a price of $9 with an MS grade and $30 for the MS 65 grade.

Grading system

How one does the ability to identify the quarter quality by a glance only? Turns out there are some
tools to help determine the quarter value like if the quarter’s design like the hair lines looks sharps or if
the sign of wear is on the top of the eagle’s legs or only on the eagle’s breast.

With the MS 60 uncirculated you can check if there is no sign of wear with the parameter of if the coin
has luster or maybe a few stains, surface marks, or abrasions. While the MS 65 there might be an eye
appeal or strong luster with a few light contact marks, but barely noticeable.

1946 Quarter value can be said that the year of the quarter is one of the tougher quarters to acquire in
the 1940 era to get in gem conditions. That was because back in the year between 1950s and 1960s
uncirculated rolls of coins were being saved because the focus was on mintage, the higher mintage
coin at that time was being ignored or undesirable while they saved the low mintage coins.

That is why, with the high mintage was undesirable to be saved and they chose to save the low
mintage instead, nowadays 1946 quarter is so scarce for the Gem conditions than the low mintage
like the 1946-S, with the 1946-S having a less than 10% the original mintage year.
Specifications

The Washington 1946 Quarter value has a face value of $0.25 with compositions of 90% silvers and
10% copper with a silver weight of 18084 oz, and a total weight of 6.25 grams. The current silver
bullion value at $3.52.

All the Washington quarters dated before 1965 were made from 90% silver compositions, which is
worth more than the face value of 25 cents coins. In fact, the last year that the US mints of the
Washington quarter made of silver was the year of 1964.

By that time the rising silver bullion prices have begun pushing the intrinsic metal content, which
makes the 1946 Quarter value beyond their face value. Although this helped fuel the coin shortage
that prompted the United State Mint officials in making major changes in the coin policy, that includes
the debasement of the silver dimes, half dollars, and quarters.

The 905 silver quarter values vary depending on the silver current price and the conditions as well as
the date of the coins. But, all coins in the pre-1965 Washington quarter are definitely worth saving,
because they all at least have their melt value.

Because each of the pre-65 quarters contains roughly 0.18 troy oz of pure silver, which is around 5.6
grams. Multiply the number by the most current spot of silver price and you will have the range
approximate of the melt value for the silver 1946 Quarter value.

A brief history of Washington coin

It was started in 1931, the Washington quarters were the US's first commemorative coin. It was to
honor the bicentennial of George Washington’s birth by the treasury department with a half dollar. The
contest was that the new design should be specified to the portrait of George Washington by Jean
Antoine Houdon. But then congress decided to intervene in march of 1931 and instead of making a
half dollar they decided to feature Washington in a quarter dollar instead of the half dollar.

John Flannagan, a designer engraver asked to design the reverse and the observers for the new
quarter dollar. The first ever quarters rolled off the coining presses was in 1932. Which is supposed to
be a one-year circulating as a commemorative coin. But, due to the great depression throughout the
US, the US Mint did not produce any coins in the year 1933. Thus, when in 1994 the demand for
quarters coins resumed, and the mint just continue with the Washington design until today.

Mint marks

What are mint marks?

The United State of America has three different mints that produce the Washington quarters which
are, Denver (D), San Francisco (S), and Philadelphia in Philadelphia the quarters has no mint marks.
These mint marks are located on the coin reverse, above the ‘R’ in QUARTER, and below the wreath.

Grading coins

It is important to know the basics of coin grading, it’s a very important aspect in the field of collecting
quarters, this can be done by professional numismatists or experienced collectors. The standard of
measuring grade that commonly uses is the Sheldon Scale, a system that uses the range from
number 1 as the poorest condition and 70 as the flawless and perfect.

Basically, the higher the number, the better the conditions of the coin is. This is important when it is for
measuring the value of the coin, and the difference between a choice of a reguler MS-60 and an
uncirculated MS-65. Because uncirculated coins can have a difference between $100,000 or $1
million, it is depending on the coin.
Generally speaking, grading circulated coins basically can be done by anyone once they’ve been
exposed to coins and have a good reference of which grade corresponds with them. But most of the
uncirculated coins, especially the old coins should be only graded by professionals since circulated
coins are categorized as average when uncirculated ones are scarce and limited.

Using professional help to grade the uncirculated coins may cost additional money, but it is usually
worth it with older coins for the value of the selling.

1964, the Washington quarter minted contained 90% of pure silver. Which results in the said

the 1961 quarter value nowadays starting from $3.21 at the minimum in the underlining of the silver
price for moving your old coin at this level. So we’re going to lay out some information about the 1961
Washington quarter.

The mints

There are two different minting facilities that produce this 1961 Washington Quarter, which is the
minting facility of Philadelphia (P) and the minting facility of Denver (D). Philadelphia has a P whereas
Denver has a D mintmark located in the reverse. Where both of them have relatively the same value
in less than the high Gem quality of the coin’s conditions.

How do you know if your coin is in tip-top shape conditions? 1961 quarter value is the same as any
other coin in the matter of price if the coin is in collectible conditions. Dealers will pay for collectors
and premiums price when it is found in the uncirculated conditions.

There is a chart for coin value in which the prices are defined by date, mintmark present, and the
conditions of the coin. A 1961-D Quarter will mean that the quarter is the one minted in the minting
facility in Denver in 1961. As we explained briefly above, the D mintmark will be located on the
reverse and below the wreath.

Generally speaking, the 1961 quarter value is as conditional as it is in brand-new conditions or in very
worn conditions. This is a simple tip to know in what condition your coin is, you need to line the
quarters in a row, determine their state of preservation then assign each to a Grade. To be noted, as
you proceed with that tip, you ought to handle each and every coin carefully because the 1961
uncirculated coins have the highest value on the market.

How to detect the 1961 uncirculated quarter? By looking at its conditions, visibly the conditions of the
coin will appear to be unaware since the coin is being minted, and it can be seen on its surfaces. The
quarter with these conditions is clearly the most sought out by dealers and collectors, and the rarity of
this coin makes the 1961 quarter value pretty high.

The Washington 1961 Fine conditions Quarter, you can look in the quarter is the chin where you then
extend up and through the hair details if it is worn flat while also reaching into the curls above the ear.
If the coin is in that condition, it is in fine condition because it has been worn but not overly worn. This
will give this version of the quarter, a fine kind of price.

The Washington quarter's in good condition, shown with the coin conditions of the major detail is seen
as flattened because of how often it was being used, with the top letters have begun to fade and
merge into the rim. With these conditions, the 1961 quarter value is only their silver content.

the 1961 quarter value is tied closely to what silver is worth. Although, in the Washington series of
quarters a few rate mintmarks and dates stand out and have been found in high conditions. The coin
then can be compared to a grading image system and then separated by the conditions by checking
rare dates on the value chart.

The Historical Background

Did you know, that the first-ever silver quarter of George Washington was issued in 1932? It was to
honor the late first president of the united States’ birth in 1732, it was originally only going to be a
one-year commemorative thing but then something happened, and they never changed any of the
design, and then turned out people liked it so they keep producing it to this day. Become the
permanent quarter coin, replacing the Standing liberty design.

Although in the year 1999 the effigy of Washington’s quarter was slightly altered with the 50-state
quarter program, the Washington quarter is still in use. That is also why the coin is still the most
popular coin to be collected, or in another word, being collectible, especially true for the high quality
and uncirculated coins that earn a mint state grade.

One of the first rules of Goerge Washington's 1961 quarter value, is to look for coins worth more than
the face value in circulation is to look for silver coins. 90% of silver dimes, half dollars, and quarters
are being made through the year 1964 in the United States. These coins, now worth so much more
than face value, it doesn’t affect how damaged or worn the coin may be.

This brings us to the point of the case with 90% of silver quarters made from 1960 through 1964, due
to the melting value of the content of the coins, these coins have worth around $4 to $5 each, but then
when the silver price value is up it can get to $20 an ounce.

Added pieces of information are that, if you are going to collect these coins we advise you to also
collect the coin with the D mintmark, the D is symbolizing the place the coin was minted which is in
Denver minting facility. The mintmark is located on the reverse or the back of the coin and just below
the heraldic eagle, the quarter with this mintmark have more or less an equal value in term of the
silver value.

How to sell a coin or Find a good dealer

Firstly, every step before making any sale is determining the real range value of the coin that you want
to sell, then after you do some research and know the minimum and maximum value of your coin,
your next step is to find the dealer. Always do research for more than one dealer, and make sure you
find a good candidate for the dealer, because it can be hard since the internet makes it hard to know
for real when they have the title of “the best coin dealer for you!”.

So, never settle on the first dealer that pops up, due diligence and find the dealer that will pay you a
fair price for your coin or the one that will have the ability to help you out when you want to buy any
other old coin.

The one thing that you shouldn't do is sell your coin to a pawnshop, why? Because when there might
be good pawn shops that have a good record of buying and selling things about many objects and
things. But for collectible things, pawn shops will not give you the best price on them, especially for
silver quarters. The 1961 quarter value, will not sell at a good price in these types of shops, more of it
is the jewelers, they should stick to what is their best specialty, which are brooches, necklaces, and
rings as well as diamonds.

For coins, you will need to find a coin dealer having a good amount of years of experience and
expertise in their name. The one with the track record of buying and selling coins regularly, one with
the rare coins deals on their pocket of expertise, gold bullion coinage, silver coins, and any other
numismatic things.

Choose a coin dealer that has a good list of connections with experts in the coin field, it will be better if
you look for a coin dealer that has been authorized as a professional coin grader. Dealers that are
reputable, have a good chunk of past customers as well as return customers while also being a dealer
who is well connected, that will go the extra mile for their customers will be a good parameter for your
search.

A stunning 1961-D in a GEM quality will have a value of $184 on an internet auction, the coin with
splashes of soft golden toning make the bright silvery-blue surface of the coin looks fantastic for
collectors because this coin is a true Washington quarter with GEM quality. Having no abrasions or
any distracting marks from contact with any other coins.

That gem value of a price is one of the reasons why you need to inspect your coin closely and
determine if your coin has premium quality or only silver value quality. Because thousands of the
1961-P coins survived in the Mint state but the majority of it riddled with contact marks.

That’s why the Gems quarter above the MS66 is highly sought after because of how rare it is. The
Philadelphia quarters between 1956-1964 struck from the type B reverse (the retired proof dies) and
the quarter from 1961 is one of the years least often seen.

Per the NCG Price Guide in November 2022, the Washington 1961 quarter value in circulated
conditions has a value price between $4.30 and $6.75, but the 1961 Quarters in uncirculated and
pristine conditions, have a value of around $4950 on the open market.

Fun fact to close up our article, earlier issues of the Washington quarter from the 1934 double die and
the 1943-S doubled die are more valuable than any 1960’s quarters on some list of collectibles.
