Overview

Historical significance

The 1964 Washington Quarter is highly significant as it was the last year U.S. circulating quarters were made of 90% silver. From 1965 onwards, quarters were struck in a copper-nickel clad composition due to rising silver prices. This makes 1964 quarters particularly sought after by collectors and valuable for their silver content.

Estimated value

The estimated value of a 1964 silver Washington Quarter depends greatly on its condition (grade). In circulated condition, its value is primarily tied to its silver melt value, which fluctuates but is typically several dollars. Uncirculated examples can fetch significantly higher prices, ranging from $10 to $50 or more for higher grades.

Care & preservation

To preserve the coin's condition and value, handle it by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in an inert, archival-safe holder such as a Mylar flip, coin slab, or album. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can devalue it significantly by damaging its original surface and patina.
