1982 Quarter

  1. This genuine Washington quarter was struck at the Denver Mint. This 1982 issue is especially sought after since the U.S. Mint did not release Mint Sets this year. Place your order right away!

CoinTrackers.com has estimated the 1982 D Washington Quarter value at an average of 25 cents, one in certified mint state (MS+) could be worth $19. (see details)...

Jan 03, 2011 San Francisco minted only Proof Quarters in 1982 so it is highly, highly unlikely your coin was struck by a D/S die. Hobo, Jan 4, 2011 #14 + Quote Reply. 1796 Draped Bust Quarter (6,146 made) $12,000; 1804 Draped Bust Quarter (6,738) $4,500; 1822 25 over 50 c Capped Bust Quarter (unknown quantity) $4,500; 1823 over 2 Capped Bust Quarter (estimated 30 to 40 exist) $40,000. Thankfully, circulated 1982 and 1983 quarters are still available in pocket change and can be found in decent condition with enough searching. I've found several of these coins and have made nice profits by selling them to my coin dealer. Imagine turning 25 cents into $2, $3, $4 – even $6 or more in a matter of moments.

Type:Washington Quarter
Year:1982
Mint Mark: D
Face Value: 0.25 USD
Total Produced: 480,042,000 [?]
Silver Content: 0%
Numismatic Value: 25 cents to $19.00
Value: As a rough estimate of this coins value you can assume this coin in average condition will be valued at somewhere around 25 cents, while one in certified mint state (MS+) condition could bring as much as $19 at auction. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale. So when we say average, we mean in a similar condition to other coins issued in 1982, and mint state meaning it is certified MS+ by one of the top coin grading companies. [?].

1982 Quarter D

Do you collect Washington quarters? Perhaps you’ll want to spend a little time (and a few bucks) on buying some of the more recent issues from the popular eight-decade-old series.

While many coin collectors seem to prefer the silver Washington quarters from 1932 through 1964, there are several great copper-nickel clad quarters you should also add to your collection while you can still buy them at relatively low prices. Some of these copper-nickel clad Washington qaurters are even worth more than face value in circulated condition.

Here are the five hottest buys among copper-nickel clad Washington quarters:

1982 Quarter Error Coins

  1. 1982-P Washington quarter -- An absence of government-issued uncirculated sets in 1982 has now led to a relatively tiny supply of uncirculated Philadelphia (and Denver) mint quarters from that year. MS 65 1982-P quarters sell for $25 or more. Lightly circulated 1982-P Washington quarters are worth $2 to $5.
  2. 1982-D Washington quarter -- Like the 1982-P quarter, 1982-D Washington quarters are scarce in higher grades because few were ever saved in uncirculated condition. Expect to pay $15 for a decent uncirculated specimen. Find one in pocket change, and it’ll likely net you $1 to $2 at a coin dealer.
  3. 1983-P Washington quarter -- The king of the clad Washington quarters, the 1983-P is worth a hefty $50 in MS 65, which is a relatively small sum given how scarce this coin really is versus the large number of individuals who collect Washington quarters. If you find a circulated specimen in pocket change, hang onto it. Years ago, I sold an XF 1983-P Washington quarter for $5. Surely I would get more money for that coin today.
  4. 1983-D Washington quarter -- As was the case in 1982, no uncirculated sets were issued by the government in 1983, and that means few of these coins were ever saved in uncirculated condition. 1983-D Washington quarters in MS 65 are worth $30 each, and in circulated grades they can easily fetch $1 to $2. Keep your eyes on your pocket change!
  5. 1986-D Washington quarter -- You’re probably asking yourself “what gives? Weren't these included in 1986 mint sets?” Well, yes, the U.S. Mint did issue uncirculated sets in 1986, but relatively few uncirculated quarters were saved by the roll back in the mid 1980s – which is one reason BU quarters from that era are actually decently difficult (and therefore relatively costly) to buy. A 1986-D Washington quarter in MS 65 is worth about $15. Unlike the 1982 and 1983 Washington quarters, 1986-D quarters aren’t yet fetching more than face value in circulated condition.

So, there you have it – five modern-day Washington quarters you should consider buying while they're still cheap enough for the average person to purchase. If you have to buy any of these coins (rather than wait for good luck to guide some into your pocket change), you aren’t getting a bad deal, because these coins are really quite scarce, especially in uncirculated condition. They’re comparative steals right now and may be worth much more down the line as collector interest ramps up on modern copper-nickel clad Washington quarters and their relative supplies dwindle.
If you want examples of uncirculated 1982 and 1983 U.S. coins, don't forget that the Philadelphia and Denver mints did issue their own souvenir sets back then. Those sell for about $50 to $60 each these days and can be bought on eBay.
