I'm confused as to the value of a 1974 Washington quarter as I see some that sold for several hundred dollars up to almost a thousand on eBay and others that are only worth a couple dollars and up. What would make one more valuable than the other? The ones that sold for a lot did not seem to have anything special about them. Also can somebody give an idea about what this one that I have might be worth? Thanks in advance for all your knowledge.
Sure you don't mean etsy?1974 is a very common date were they certified?very scarce in 67 and above grades.Your example looks to be in low ms so maybe a few bucks at the most.
the ones that got up to the $1000 area are MS67 and top population PCGS graded examples. the couple hundred dollar ones are graded MS66. or NGC MS67. Everything else is a couple bucks.
There actually are a couple normal circulated coins that are listed as sold, one for $700 and one for $900. Notice the $700 one was relisted and never got a bid, I am sure other one is something similar. I am sure they did not actually sell for these prices.
