History of the 1967 Quarter

The Washington quarters coins were made in 1932 for the first time to celebrate the birthday of the president. After that, coins are made in each year. In 1960, a shortage of coins started due to the high prices of silver. As a result of the high value of silver, people started hoarding the coins, and as a result of covering the coin shortage, the mint made the 1964 and 1965 quarters. But it did not cover the coin shortage, so the mint decided to change the coin composition from silver to copper core cladding with nickel.

From 1965 to 1967, mint tried to reduce coin hoarding, and new coins made with copper clads did not have mint marks. The coins without mint marks were made until 1968. The 1967 quarters also do not have a mint mark and make these coins as important for collectors.

1967 Quarter Error List

 Nickel Planchet Quarter Error

The 1967 quarter struck with 5C nickel planchets as compared to quarters and made 1967 nickel planchet quarter error coins. In this error, some part of the coins missed as the die used for coin striking did not fit on the small-size nickel planchet as compared to quarters. This error coin is worth about $160.

 Struck-On Copper Quarter Error

This error coin is made when the 1967 quarter die is used for striking the planchet over the rim. It makes two different reddish-brown colors, smooth edges, and, as a result, some parts of the coins are missed. That error coin has a value of about 150 dollars.

Off-center error

This error occurs when design printing on coins is not completely made and die strikes are off-center and make 1967 quarters off-center errors. The value of coins off center from ten to twenty percent is low value, and higher grade with more than fifty percent off center are high value.

 Curved Clip Errors

This error is a result of the die at the mint making holes for the 2nd strike in the planchet cut in shape. As a result, there is a chip in the final design coins. There are chances for many curved clips at one time. The coins with an AU55 grade have 3 different curved clips and have a value of about 45 dollars. The MS65 grade coins sold for $130.

What is special about the 1967 quarter?

The photo of the first USA president was added on the coin’s front side from 1938 to 1998. The backside has an eagle with spread wings holding arrows in its talons and olive branches. All types of quarters have this design except the bicentennial 1776 to 1976 drummer boy quarters. These coins had a military drummer on the back side. In 1998 the reverse side of quarters changed. The 1967 quarters do not have a mint mark that shows these coins were made at the Philadelphia Mint.

Due to high prices, silver coins get hoarded by people and result in the coin shortage. So 1965 to 1967 coins were made without a mint mark that was made for avoiding hoarding. So proof coins were made in 1967. These coins are special satin finish and made with the use of a burnished planchet. The US mint not these coins for circulation but made with mint set.

These coins are shiny but not as glossy as proof coins. These coins are also not used for circulation.
