Clad Composition and Melt Value
The 1967 Washington Quarter contains no precious metal. Its melt value is minimal, so collectors focus on grade, strike quality, and originality.
What Impacts Value Most
- Condition / Grade: The primary factor affecting value
- Strike Quality: Sharper details increase desirability
- Surface Preservation: Bag marks and scratches lower value
- Originality: Uncleaned, original surfaces are preferred
Common Errors and What They’re Worth
The 1967 quarter is well known for collectible errors due to high production levels.

- Wrong planchet errors (rare and highly valuable)
Major errors can sell for hundreds or even thousands of dollars depending on type and condition.
