The 1971 quarter is part of the Washington Quarter series, minted from 1932 onwards.
Most 1971 quarters hold face value, but collectors seek high-grade or error coins.
Circulated 1971 quarters are common, with little to no premium over face value.
Uncirculated or proof 1971 quarters can fetch higher prices, depending on condition.
Special mint sets or error coins, like doubled dies, can be worth significantly more.
Check for rare 'S' mint mark from San Francisco, indicating a proof or uncirculated coin.
Condition is key; pristine, unblemished coins are most valuable to collectors.
Professional grading can authenticate and assess the value of your 1971 quarter.
Keep an eye out for unique features or historical significance that may add value.
Always consult with a numismatic expert to accurately determine your coin's worth.
