What Drives This Coin's Value
Condition/Grade is the primary factor. High-grade specimens (MS-67 or higher) and error coins (such as die cracks or doubled dies) carry premium value.
Similar Coins
Other quarters in the American Women Quarters series (2022-2025) and the 1976 Bicentennial Quarter which also features a dual date (1776-1976).
Authenticity & Counterfeit Red Flags
Check for crispness of detail, correct weight, and a distinct copper core visible on the edge. Counterfeits of modern circulating quarters are extremely rare.
Notable Varieties & Errors
Die cracks, 'leaking' metal errors, or doubled dies specifically on the reverse legends or Dr. Walker's medal/uniform details are areas collectors monitor for this series.
