Because of their limited mintage and high quality, proof quarters can be worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars. The exact value of a proof quarter depends on its condition and rarity. Some of the most valuable proof quarters include:
* The 1983-S proof quarter, which was minted in San Francisco and has a mintage of just over 1.2 million pieces.
* The 1983-P proof quarter, which was minted in Philadelphia and has a mintage of just over 1.8 million pieces.
* The 1983-W proof quarter, which was minted in West Point and has a mintage of just over 1.3 million pieces.
In addition to these three proof quarters, there are also a number of other 1983 quarters that are worth more than their face value. These include:
* The 1983 "Bicentennial" quarter, which was issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the United States Constitution.
* The 1983 "Washington Crossing the Delaware" quarter, which was issued to commemorate the 250th anniversary of George Washington's crossing of the Delaware River.
* The 1983 "Mount Rushmore" quarter, which was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the completion of Mount Rushmore.
These special 1983 quarters can be worth anywhere from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars, depending on their condition and rarity.
