The 1979 quarter is part of the Washington Quarter series, minted from 1932 onwards.
Most 1979 quarters hold face value, but errors or high-grade coins could be worth more.
Key factors: condition, mint mark, and rarity determine a 1979 quarter's potential value.
Look for the mint mark: 'P' for Philadelphia, 'D' for Denver, 'S' for San Francisco.
The 'S' mint mark indicates a proof coin, often more valuable than regular issues.
Special varieties like the 'Filled D' or 'Clear S' can enhance a coin's collectibility.
Uncirculated or proof 1979 quarters can fetch higher prices among collectors.
Check for the 1979-S Type 2 Clear 'S' proof quarter, a sought-after collectible.
Always consult a professional coin grader or appraiser to accurately assess value.
Remember, sentimental value can outweigh monetary worth for any collectible coin.
