Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in determining the value of an 1867 Quarter. Due to its low mintage and age, finding high-grade examples is extremely challenging. Coins in circulated conditions (Good to Very Fine) are more commonly available but still valuable. Uncirculated specimens are exceedingly rare and highly sought after by collectors.
The strike quality can vary, with some coins showing weakness in certain areas. Original luster is a key factor in determining grade and value for uncirculated coins. Natural toning, if present, can significantly enhance the coin's appeal and value, especially if it's attractive and even.
Mintage: 48,000
Rarity Scale: Rare
Circulation Status: Limited Circulation
Preservation Rarity: Extremely rare in grades MS65 and above
Varieties Errors: None widely recognized
Market Demand: High, especially for well-preserved specimens
Rarity is the primary value driver for the 1867 Quarter. With only 48,000 minted, it's one of the key dates in the Seated Liberty Quarter series. The survival rate is estimated to be quite low, making high-grade examples especially valuable.
Historical significance adds to its appeal, as it represents coinage from the early Reconstruction era. Provenance can also play a role; coins with a documented history of ownership by notable collectors or inclusion in famous collections can command a premium.
Lastly, certification by reputable grading services like PCGS or NGC can significantly impact value, providing assurance of authenticity and condition to potential buyers.
