Design and Specifications of the 1937 Quarter

The 1937 Quarter represents one of the final years of the Standing Liberty Quarter design, which was first introduced in 1916. This coin was minted during the Great Depression era, a time of significant economic hardship in the United States. The Standing Liberty design was soon to be replaced by the Washington Quarter in 1932, making the 1937 issue part of the last few years of this classic design.

Diameter 24.3 mm
Mint Marks D, S (Denver and San Francisco)
Composition 90% silver, 10% copper
Obverse Design Standing Liberty, designed by Hermon A. MacNeil
Reverse Design Eagle in flight, designed by Hermon A. MacNeil

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers

Condition plays a crucial role in determining the value of 1937 Quarters. Coins in uncirculated condition (MS60 and above) are significantly more valuable than circulated examples. The presence of full head details on the obverse is particularly important for high-grade specimens, as this feature is often weakly struck.

Luster quality and the absence of contact marks are key factors in grading these coins. Toning can also impact value, with attractive, natural toning often commanding a premium among collectors.

Mintage: 19,696,000

Rarity Scale: Common

Circulation Status: Widely Circulated

Preservation Rarity: Scarce in grades MS65 and above

Varieties Errors: None significant

Market Demand: Moderate, popular among type set collectors

San Francisco (S)

Mintage: 1,652,000

Rarity Scale: Uncommon

Circulation Status: Moderate Circulation

Preservation Rarity: Rare in grades MS65 and above

Varieties Errors: None significant

Market Demand: High, due to lower mintage

The 1937 Quarter's value is influenced by several factors beyond condition. As a silver coin, its intrinsic metal value provides a base price. The San Francisco mint issue, with its lower mintage, typically commands a premium over the Philadelphia and Denver issues.

For all mint marks, examples with strong strikes and full head details are highly sought after. The historical significance of the Standing Liberty design and its place in American numismatic history also contributes to the coin's appeal among collectors.
