Description: The 1967 quarter symbolized a turning point in the mint’s significance due to its unique composition as a result of economic and historical events of the period, elevating the value of uncirculated 1967 quarters to all-star collector status. A 1967 quarter is rare because it has valuable faults and high quality. Although 1,524,031,848 quarters came out in 1967, amounting to more than 1.5 billion, the coin remains very rare. Unfortunately, none of these 1967 quarters featured silver. Instead, a base-metal copper-nickel clad format creates all 1967 quarters. The Coinage Act of 1965 was written to deter the collection of coins from 1965 to 1967 while the United States government attempted to meet a growing need for coinage. Because the price of silver was beginning to inflate beyond the face value of coins, and because a coin shortage was underway, collectors and regular citizens alike began to hoard coins for their silver value. But the coinage act meant that silver was no longer used to produce these coins, lowering their value to the face value of the currency itself. In addition, mint marks were removed through 1967, making the 1967 quarter the last produced without a mint mark.Thanks to these unique circumstances, a series of quarters were produced in the years between 1965 and 1967 that represent a significant moment in mint history.
