Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in determining the value of 1984 Quarters. While circulated examples are generally worth only face value, uncirculated coins can command a premium. Coins in MS65 and above are particularly desirable, with those grading MS67 or higher being quite scarce and valuable.
For proof coins, cameo and deep cameo contrast between the frosted design elements and mirrored fields can significantly enhance value, especially in grades PR68 and above.

Luster quality is an important factor for uncirculated 1984 Quarters. Coins with strong, cartwheel luster are more desirable to collectors. Strike quality also affects value, with sharply struck coins commanding higher premiums.
While not typically known for attractive toning, quarters with exceptional, natural toning can be more valuable. However, such examples are uncommon for this year and mint.
As a modern issue, the 1984 Quarter is not particularly rare or valuable, but high-grade examples and those with exceptional eye appeal can still be sought after by collectors focusing on quality.
