Design and Specifications of the 1935 Quarter
The 1935 Quarter was part of the Standing Liberty Quarter series, which was first introduced in 1916 and continued until 1930. The year 1935 marked one of the final years of production for this design before it was replaced by the Washington Quarter in 1932. This coin holds significance as one of the last silver quarters minted before the transition to the new design.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of 1935 Quarters significantly impacts their value. While these coins are relatively common in circulated grades, they become increasingly scarce in higher mint state conditions. Coins in MS65 or above are particularly desirable and command substantial premiums.
Strike quality is an important factor, as many Standing Liberty Quarters suffer from weak strikes, especially on Liberty's head and the eagle's breast feathers. Well-struck examples with full detail are highly sought after by collectors.
Original luster and attractive toning can also enhance the value and appeal of these coins. Quarters with vibrant, original surfaces and pleasing color are often more valuable than those with dull or cleaned surfaces.

Date visibility is a crucial factor for Standing Liberty Quarters. Many examples have worn dates due to the design's placement, making coins with clear, full dates more desirable and valuable.
The presence of the original mint luster can significantly increase a coin's value, as it indicates minimal circulation and careful preservation.
While not specific to 1935, collectors should be aware of the Type 1 (1916-1917) and Type 2 (1917-1930) varieties in the Standing Liberty Quarter series. The 1935 quarter is a Type 2 coin, which features Liberty with a chain mail vest and a repositioned eagle on the reverse.
Lastly, the historical significance of the 1935 quarter as one of the last years of the Standing Liberty design adds to its appeal among collectors and numismatic historians.
