There is a chance it is even higher. Let’s check for mintmarks and most importantly the condition of your quarter. First the mintmarks.

Three different minting facilities, Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco, produced Washington quarters in 1941. The two most valuable in the higher grades are the Denver and San Francisco coins. The "D" or "S" mintmark, indicating the specific mint, is found on the reverse.

Next are your coins in collectible condition? These two issues are avidly sought by collectors and premiums are paid by dealers, when found in "Uncirculated" condition.

Images of different stages of wear are found below, check if your 1941 quarter is worth a high price.

The terms used in the coin values chart, relating to the condition of your quarter, are described in detail below. A date listing of "1941-S" is a quarter minted in 1941 at the mint in San Francisco. In 1941 the mintmarks on Washington quarters are found on the reverse just below the wreath.

The quarter images each represent different levels of desirability to a collector. From the "Uncirculated" grade, the most desirable, to the least, "Good" condition.

The grading descriptions describe what to examine as you judge the condition of your quarters.

Accurate 1941 quarter value depends upon a careful study of grade. This process is understandably one of the hardest to get correctly, especially when large dollar amounts are at stake.

	Uncirculated: Untouched since being minted, no wear on its surfaces and still retaining bright luster, a quarter in this condition is avidly sought by collectors and dealers. Admittedly few survive this nice.
	Extremely Fine: This quarter exhibits slight evidence of circulation, but was put away before to much wear accrued. Examine the hair and you notice the details are gone. Also the roundness of Washington’s neck and cheeks has smoothed out somewhat.
	Fine: On this coin the small and finer details have worn away and the area surrounding the ear has flattened from circulation. Many transfers from hand to hand have left their mark. However, eye appeal is still rather nice.
	Good: The Washington portrait is smooth from circulation, but all essential details remain. The rim of a 1941 quarter is normally still well defined, except where it has begun to merge into the lettering and date.

A happy collector received great value for the money in January 2008. DLRC Auctions sold an outstanding 1941-S Washington Quarter for $115. A very reasonable price for such a quality coin.

Not only were the smallest of marks on the surface barely noticeable but the coin has knock-out eye appeal.

Subtle light golden toning encircling the rims framing the white luster of the center. A great 1941 quarter value, on looks alone.

Your old quarters are certainly worth investigating further. Auction listings, dealer sites and inventories are all well described. Compare your coins and see how much your 1941 quarter is worth.
