The San Francisco Assay Office began striking 1964(P) quarters in 1965, making over 15 million that year and 4.6 million in the opening months of 1966. Most of these later strikings went straight to hoarders, as the first copper-nickel-clad quarters had been released in November of 1965. 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. Both the 1964 quarters with no mint mark and the 1964 D quarters are worth around $5 each in extremely fine condition. In uncirculated condition the value is around $8 for coins with an MS 60 grade. Uncirculated coins with a grade of MS 65 can sell for around $15.

Your 1964 quarter value starts a $4.52 each. This minimum price is because of the large silver content in old quarters.

Other factors do contribute to raising the value of your old coin, particularly the condition and determining which mint produced the quarter.

Beginning with the mintmark. Two mints struck Washington quarters in 1964, Philadelphia and Denver. Those minted in Philadelphia are worth a small premium today. You can tell them apart by the small 'D' placed on the reverse by the Denver Mint.

The next challenge is determining the condition of your old quarter. Commonly found worn, see if your coin is in a higher more collectible 'Uncirculated' condition, and compare it to the 'Grading' images below.

A popular series with collectors and elusive in the higher grades, your 1964 quarter is worth a close examination.

The coin value chart breaks the prices down by date, mintmark and state of preservation.

The '1964-D' is a quarter minted by the Denver mint in 1964 and values are given in four different 'Grades.' How to grade your coins is covered below.

1964 Quarter Value by Grade

The most valuable Washington quarters are always the 'Uncirculated' examples, the first image. The lowest value quarters are in 'Good' condition. Most collectors eventually replace these 'Good' coins with a finer example.

Uncirculated: The top grade in both quality and value, requires close examination to confirm. Inspect the highest points of design and the fine details for evidence of wear. It is most noticeable as a dulling of the surface and breaks in the mint luster.

Extremely Fine: The lightest of wear and abrasion begins to show in the hair and curls over Washington's ear. Minute details have disappeared and mint luster is absent from the neck and cheek. This quarter is worn, but very lightly.

Fine: Still a respectable coin despite moderate wear. The hair and curls now show only major details. The neck and chin are worn to the point of merging. However the rim and date are clearly separated.

Good: All the major details show but very flattened by wear. The tops of the letters have begun to merge into the rim. In this grade, 1964 quarter value is their silver content.

Washington Quarter Overview

Created to commemorate the 200th birthday of the United States’ first president, George Washington, the Washington Quarter was widely accepted by the general public because of its pleasing design. The Washington quarter was first minted in 1932 and is still presently minted.

The coin has undergone several changes over the years, including a full change to the reverse as well as the change in composition of the coin.

Designed and created by sculptor John Flanagan in 1932, the Washington Quarter has many qualities that pay homage to the United States’ early years and its first president. The obverse features a bust of George Washington facing left with the word “LIBERTY” above and the date below. Also featured on the left field of the obverse is the motto, “IN GOD WE TRUST.”

On the reverse, the common coinage symbol of a perched eagle with its outstretched wings is centered. The mottos, “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM”, can be found centered above Flanagan’s eagle. Centered below the main eagle design are the words, “QUARTER DOLLAR.”

The composition of the Washington Quarter was changed twice through its lifetime and greatly affects the coin’s value. From 1932 till 1964, the Washington Quarter was minted using 90% silver and 10% copper.

This changed in 1965 when the mint removed silver from the Washington Quarter, changing the composition to 75% copper and 25% nickel. All currently minted Washington Quarters are made of this copper and nickel clad composition.

History of the 1964 Washington Quarter

The 1964 Washington Quarter is perhaps one of the most interesting years of the Washington Quarter. It was unique as it was the last quarter struck for circulation which had silver as the main metal. All Washington Quarters struck after 1964 were made of a copper-based clad composition.

1964 Quarter Value Silver Mint

This change in composition was due to rising silver prices. President Lyndon B. Johnson was in favor of using cheaper metals to produce clad coins, so the production of silver coins was eliminated at that time. This change from silver-based to clad-based coins was completed with the passage of the Coinage Act of 1965.

Although the change to clad-based coinage happened in 1965, the 1964 Washington Quarter was still minted in huge quantities. According to the United States Mint at Philadelphia, 560,390,000 examples of the 1964 Washington Quarter were minted.

This large amount was minted to try to curb the mass hoarding of silver coins by the general public. Ultimately this goal failed, as the US still had to change many coins’ compositions in 1965.

Collecting 1964 and other Washington Quarters

Washington Quarters are by far the easiest coins to begin collecting. Their presence in everyday circulation, as well as the new state and national park designs, make the Washington Quarter interesting and easy to collect.

These different types of Washington Quarter designs allow for each person to collect what they like. Those who prefer the traditional obverse and reverse design can collect any Washington Quarters minted before 1999.

Others who prefer the differing reverses and updated obverse can collect the state quarters minted from 1999-2009 as well as the national park quarters, which started production in 2010 and will continue till 2021.

Most coins are relatively easy to find in every day coinage, but some are harder to find, including the 1964 Washington Quarter. Other hard-to-find dates are all silver examples minted between 1932 and 1964. These coins have a large demand by collectors and investors due to their silver composition.

Most of these silver Washington Quarters can be found with your local coin dealer as well as online. Expect to pay around $3-$4 for an average example of a common silver date.
