[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 381863, member: 13650"]I'm not interested in collecting Washington quarters at this time, but for some reason I was going through my red book last night looking at them. I wanted to see what, if any, valuable quarters there were after 1964. I ran across the 1983-P. It says they're worth 21.00 in MS-63. I thought, that was weird. With a mintage of over 673.5 million, it shouldn't be that scarce. Does anybody know why this is? Anyway, I went to lunch today. My only purchase in the last several days. I paid last. Got some change back. 3 pennies, one dime and a quarter. Unbelievably, the quarter I got was a 1983-P! Of course it isn't MS-63. It's been in circulation a while but it is in pretty good shape. I'd give it a VF. I still can't believe it. I guess it isn't that big of a deal but to have it happen like that was kind of neat.[/QUOTE]
