What Drives This Coin's Value
Mint state condition (MS-67 or higher), the presence of a 'W' (West Point) mint mark (though this specimen is a 'P'), and significant doubling or striking errors.
Similar Coins
Standard Washington Quarters and State Quarters. Can be distinguished by the unique reverse imagery relating to the San Antonio Missions.
Authenticity & Counterfeit Red Flags
Check for crispness of detail and a distinct reeded edge. Weight should be exactly 5.67g. Counterfeits of common clad quarters are extremely rare.
Notable Varieties & Errors
Collectors look for the 'W' mint mark releases from West Point (only 2 million minted) or the 'S' minted silver/clad proofs.
