Quick answers

Before you open a guide

Four short answers for the first pass.

Which U.S. quarters are valuable?

Key dates, silver issues, recognized varieties and high-grade examples can bring premiums. The exact date, mint, variety and condition must be confirmed first.

Which quarters contain silver?

Regular Washington quarters dated 1932 through 1964 were struck in 90% silver. Later collector issues can also be silver, so check the exact issue.

What do P, D, S and W mean?

They are mint marks: Philadelphia, Denver, San Francisco and West Point. The mark helps identify the issue but does not determine value by itself.

Why do some quarters have no mint mark?

Philadelphia issues often have no mint mark, depending on the design era. A missing mark is not automatically an error.
