Rarity Factors and Value Drivers

The condition of 1943 Washington Quarters significantly impacts their value. Due to widespread circulation during wartime, finding high-grade examples can be challenging. Coins in uncirculated condition (MS60 and above) command premium prices, with those grading MS65 or higher being particularly valuable.

Luster is a crucial factor in determining the coin's grade and value. Well-preserved specimens should exhibit strong, original mint luster. Strike quality is also important, with fully struck examples, especially those with sharp details on Washington's hair and the eagle's feathers, being more desirable.

While not typically known for attractive toning, some 1943 quarters have developed appealing patina over time. Coins with attractive, natural toning can command a premium among collectors.

Historical significance plays a role in the 1943 Quarter's appeal. As a coin minted during World War II, it holds interest for both coin collectors and history enthusiasts. This can add a slight premium to well-preserved examples.

The silver content of the coin (90% silver) gives it intrinsic value beyond its numismatic worth. This factor can affect the coin's overall value, especially when silver prices are high.

While not particularly rare, full-steps examples (coins with fully visible steps on Monticello) are highly prized by collectors and can command significant premiums, especially for the Denver and San Francisco mint marks.

Lastly, any unusual error varieties, though not common for this year, could significantly increase a coin's value if discovered. These might include doubled die errors, off-center strikes, or other minting anomalies.
