Brief Description
A 1967 United States quarter featuring George Washington on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. Notable for having no mint mark.
Historical Significance
Struck during the early years of the transition from silver to clad coinage (which began in 1965). No mint marks were used on US coins from 1965-1967 to discourage coin hoarding by collectors during a nationwide coin shortage.
Estimated Value
$0.25 (face value) in circulated condition; $1-$10 in high Uncirculated (MS-65+) grades.
Care Instructions
Store in a dry, cool place. Avoid cleaning with chemicals or abrasives, as this destroys numismatic value. Handle by the edges only.
Mint Mark
None (No mint marks were used for this year; coins were struck at Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco).
Mintage & Rarity
Common; total mintage of 1,524,031,848 across all mints.
Weight & Diameter
5.67 grams; 24.26 mm
Edge
Reeded
Apparent Grade
Good to Very Good (Visible wear on hair curls and eagle feathers; some surface staining/damage on the obverse).
Obverse (Front)
Left-facing portrait of George Washington based on Jean-Antoine Houdon's 1785 bust. Inscriptions: 'LIBERTY', 'IN GOD WE TRUST', and the date '1967'. Designer: John Flanagan.
Reverse (Back)
An eagle with wings spread standing on a bundle of arrows with olive branches below. Inscriptions: 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', 'E PLURIBUS UNUM', and 'QUARTER DOLLAR'. Designer: John Flanagan.
What Drives This Coin's Value
Condition is the primary factor. Because billions were made, only coins in extremely high uncirculated grades (MS-67 or higher) or those with major errors are worth more than face value.
Similar Coins
1964 and earlier quarters (90% silver) and Special Mint Set (SMS) 1967 quarters (higher strike quality).
Authenticity & Counterfeit Red Flags
Check for the distinct copper stripe on the reeded edge to confirm the clad composition. Check weight and diameter.
Notable Varieties & Errors
Double Die Obverse (DDO) and DDR varieties exist but are extremely rare for this year. There are no major key date varieties for 1967.
