<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kanderus, post: 1364367, member: 28447&quot;]As many of you know, I am a self-proclaimed Washington Junkie. I just love the silver Washington quarter dollars. The feeling of nostalgia I get from my childhood when I find one is awesome. Don&#039;t get me wrong, I like the designs of the &quot;art&quot; coins such as Standing, Walking, and Winged liberties more than the Washington, Kennedy, and Roosevelt coins, but the Washington quarter just grabs me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anywho...today my boss, a fellow numismatist, let me trade him one of my 1964-D quarters that I have for a quarter from the 30&#039;s, plus two more for an hour of work. I snagged a 1934 (no DDO or weak motto =( ), 1936, and 1937(no DDO =( ) all Philly mint.&nbsp; I get home, put them in my collection and make an inventory note that I have them.&nbsp; Then I think to my self, just for fun I want to look up how many of each were minted...Well that leads into my current question:</p><p><br /></p><p>Why is a 1936-D valued at more than a 1937-S? A mintage of 5,374,000 vs. 1,652,000. Now, I understand why the 32-D is valued at more than the 32-S, even though the 32-S had 28,000 less coins minted. The 32-S was put away and collected more than the 32-D was.&nbsp; I would like to argue this case for the 36-D over the 37-S but I just don&#039;t see it. We&#039;re talking a mintage difference of 3,722,000 coins. Even if only 1/2 or 1/4 of the 36-D coins were put away and saved they would still be EQUALLY AS RARE as a 37-S, if not slightly more rare...but not a crazy difference. You look at a coin like the 39-S or the 40-D and it, in MS65 demands a MUCH SMALLER price than that of the 36-D, who in MS65, is valued at about $1,800. </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe some of you can shed some light on this for me?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks a ton!</p><p><br /></p><p>--Rob.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
