Definition: Subtle differences in design details can differentiate dies used in different years. Whether accidental or purposeful, obverse dies are sometimes mated with a reverse die meant for a previous or subsequent year. These are often called “transitional reverses”. Well-known examples include 1992(P) and 1992-D Lincoln cent obverses mated to a 1993 reverse.
Shown below are the three reverse styles found among 1964-D quarters: Type A (normal), Type B (meant for proof dies), and Type C (meant for use in 1965). Type C is the only transitional reverse. Types A and B are included for reference purposes, as they represent a different type of die swap.
1964 Quarter Value 2019
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. 1964 was the last year for the 90% silver/ 10% copper Washington quarters. Even though this is the last year silver Washington quarters were struck, over 1.16 billion Washington quarters were struck. This was done to eliminate silver blanks being held since all silver coinage (dime, quarter, half-dollar, dollar coin) were to be switched to the new copper/nickel clad composition in 1965. 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. 1964-D Washington Quarter 25c NGC MS-65 (Very Proof-Like Obverse).Rare in PL. 1964-D Washington Quarter 25c NGC MS-65 (Very Proof-Like Obverse).Rare in PL. 1964-D Silver Washington Quarter.
