The 1955 Washington Silver Quarter is a prized piece for collectors, minted in 90% silver and 10% copper.
Its value can range from a few dollars to thousands, depending on condition and mint mark.
Key mint locations: Philadelphia (no mint mark), Denver (D), and San Francisco (S).
Uncirculated coins or those with an MS-63 grade can fetch higher prices among enthusiasts.
The 1955-S is the rarest, with only 3.18 million coins minted, increasing its collectible value.
Look for the 'Double Die' error on the 1955-P, which can significantly boost the coin's worth.
Condition matters: 'Good' to 'Fine' grades are common, but 'Extremely Fine' to 'Mint' are sought after.
Special features like full bell lines or a strong strike can add to a coin's desirability.
Always verify authenticity with a professional, as counterfeits can mimic rare coins.
