Other factors do contribute to raising the value of your old coin, particularly the condition and determining which mint produced the quarter.

Beginning with the mintmark. Two mints struck Washington quarters in 1964, Philadelphia and Denver. Those minted in Philadelphia are worth a small premium today. You can tell them apart by the small "D" placed on the reverse by the Denver Mint.

The next challenge is determining the condition of your old quarter. Commonly found worn, see if your coin is in a higher more collectible "Uncirculated" condition, and compare it to the "Grading" images below.

A popular series with collectors and elusive in the higher grades, your 1964 quarter is worth a close examination.

The coin value chart breaks the prices down by date, mintmark and state of preservation. The "1964-D" is a quarter minted by the Denver mint in 1964 and values are given in four different "Grades." How to grade your coins is covered below.

The most valuable Washington quarters are always the "Uncirculated" examples, the first image. The lowest value quarters are in "Good" condition. Most collectors eventually replace these "Good" coins with a finer example.

	Uncirculated: The top grade in both quality and value, requires close examination to confirm. Inspect the highest points of design and the fine details for evidence of wear. It is most noticeable as a dulling of the surface and breaks in the mint luster.
	Extremely Fine: The lightest of wear and abrasion begins to show in the hair and curls over Washington’s ear. Minute details have disappeared and mint luster is absent from the neck and cheek. This quarter is worn, but very lightly.
	Fine: Still a respectable coin despite moderate wear. The hair and curls now show only major details. The neck and chin are worn to the point of merging. However the rim and date are clearly separated.
	Good: All the major details show but very flattened by wear. The tops of the letters have begun to merge into the rim. In this grade, 1964 quarter value is their silver content.

Over 704 million 1964-D quarters produced, the highest one date, one mint total of the entire 1932-1964 Silver Washington series.
