The 1963 Washington Quarter is a 25-cent coin issued by the U.S. Mint, part of the series from 1932-1964.
Made of 90% silver and 10% copper, it has more intrinsic value today due to its silver content.
Uncirculated or proof coins can fetch higher prices, especially those with no wear and strong luster.
The 1963-D variant, minted in Denver, is more common but still valuable to collectors.
Look for the 'D' mint mark on the reverse side to identify the Denver-minted quarters.
Error coins, such as those with double die or misstrikes, can significantly increase in value.
Condition is key; grades like MS 65 and above are highly sought after by numismatists.
Check for full details in Washington's hair and eagle's feathers for signs of a well-preserved coin.
Remember, even common coins can be a small fortune if they're the right ones. Keep an eye out!
