Rarity Factors and Value Drivers

Condition plays a crucial role in the value of 1962 Quarters. While common in circulated grades, these coins become increasingly valuable in higher mint state conditions. Coins graded MS65 and above command significant premiums, with MS67 examples being quite rare and valuable.

Key factors affecting condition include:

- Luster: Original mint luster adds to the coin's appeal and value.
- Strike quality: Well-struck coins with sharp details are more desirable.
- Surface preservation: Minimal contact marks or blemishes increase value.
- Toning: Natural, attractive toning can enhance a coin's value, especially for high-grade examples.

Silver content is a significant factor in the value of 1962 Quarters. As 90% silver coins, they have intrinsic value based on the current silver spot price, which often exceeds their face value.

Historical significance as one of the last years of silver quarter production adds numismatic interest. Full Bands (fully separated horizontal lines on the fasces on the reverse) are desirable for high-grade examples and can command a premium.

While not particularly rare, 1962 Quarters in pristine condition are highly sought after by collectors building high-grade sets of Washington Quarters or focusing on silver issues.
