1937-S Washington Quarter
The 1937-S Washington Quarter is the third lowest mintage coin in the Washington Quarter series with just over 1.6 million total mintage from the San Francisco mint. The 1937-S is a Washington Quarter key date in the series, and highly sought after, although sometimes the price doesn’t reflect that. The lower price points of just over $16,000 for the highest Mint State grade makes this an accessible and affordable coin while bringing great value to any silver Washington Quarter series collection.
History of the 1937-S Washington Quarter
The 1937-S Washington Quarter had such a low mintage that it was popular right after striking. Many people saved uncirculated rolls right away, which has allowed many more uncirculated Mint State coins to exist today. Circulated 1937-S Washington Quarters are difficult to find and rare, and can command a premium compared to some of the more common circulated coins in the series. The 1937-S Washington Quarter was designed by John Flanagan to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington’s day of birth.
1937-S Washington Quarter Value
The 1937-S Washington Quarter value has reached upwards of the low tens of thousands. This is a key date in the entire Washington Quarter series and, therefore, can command a higher price for circulated and higher Mint State uncirculated coins. The 1937-S Washington Quarter is a valuable and crucial addition to a Washington Quarter series and is well worth the effort to find a nicely struck and attractive coin.
