Rarity Factors and Value Drivers

The condition of the 1834 Quarter significantly impacts its value. Due to its age and circulation, finding high-grade examples is challenging. Coins in Mint State condition are especially valuable and sought after by collectors.

Key areas to examine include the high points of the design, such as Liberty's cheek and hair on the obverse, and the eagle's wings and breast feathers on the reverse. The presence of original luster and minimal contact marks greatly enhances the coin's desirability and value.

Strike quality is an important factor for the 1834 Quarter. Well-struck coins with full details command a premium. The presence of attractive, natural toning can also increase the coin's appeal and value.

The Large 4 and Small 4 varieties in the date can affect value, with the Small 4 being slightly scarcer. Die state is another consideration, as later die states with more pronounced features or cracks can be of interest to specialized collectors.

As with many early American coins, provenance can play a role in value. Coins with a documented history of ownership by notable collectors or inclusion in famous collections may command higher prices at auction.
