Description
Part of the Washington Silver Quarters 1932-1964 series, the 1937 (D) Washington Quarter is a quarter from the Denver Mint. With a mintage of 7.2 million, this is a less common issue — ranked 2nd of 3 mint variants by mintage, with 25% of production. The obverse features George Washington facing left, based on a 1786 bust by Jean-Antoine Houdon and the reverse displays an eagle perched on a bundle of arrows with olive branches below. Branch mint production continued. Die varieties exist at several mints. Coined at Denver's facility, which transitioned from processing Colorado gold rush metal to full-scale coin production in 1906. Estimated market value ranges from $19 to $174 depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 6.3 grams, 24.3 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #5804.
Rarity Notes
Mintage of 7,189,600 pieces. A moderately available issue, though gem examples (MS-65 and above) can be elusive due to the typically weak strikes and contact marks found on silver quarters of this era.
