The regular strike 1983 Washington Quarter was produced in the hundreds of millions in Denver
and Philadelphia, therefore, it is a very common issue in circulated grades. According to PCGS in
Uncirculated grades examples up to MS64 could have been found in circulation with proper searching
even several years after they were struck. Today most examples grading MS65 or higher probably
come from original bags, mint sets or rolls. MS66 examples are very difficult to find even in rolls,
bags or even in mint sets. In MS67 condition they are really scarce with less than two dozen known.

Here is 1983 quarter dollar with mint mark D, D standing for Denver mint. Graded at mint state 67
by PCGS with 30th anniversary green label holder. Since the U.S. Mint produced no mint sets in 1982
or 1983, high grade examples survive from coins intended for circulation. As a result, they are
much scarcer than those of surrounding years. This Superb Gem has frosty gray luster and wisps
of champagne toning. An exceptional representative which was sold for $1,410.00 at Heritage Auctions
When it comes to Philadelphia struck 1983 25 cents, then
holder of a sales record is not a regular type of a coin but this error quarter overstruck on
an amusement token . Graded at mint state 65 by NGCA privately made vending machine game token
found its way between quarter dollar dies, presumably with assistance from a mischievous mint
or planchet supplier employee who had little hope of recovering the piece once struck.
The undertype is slightly smaller than a quarter and appears brassy with lime-green, peach,
and rose patina. The quarter date and mintmark are clear. Much of the undertype design remains.
On the obverse, the legend THIS IS / MY / LUCKY / DAY is fully readable and adorned with clovers
and peripheral dentils. The reverse undertype legends are FOR PLAY ONLY / NO / CASH / VALUE
with scroll and wreath below. It was sold in 2014
for record of 15, 862 dollars and fifty cents at Heritage Auctions.
As i mentioned before at mint state 67 these quarters are pretty scarce and
highly sought after. For instance this 1983-D showcased at Heritage Auctions
in 2018 ended up selling for 1320 dollars. Now let me show you quarters from Coin Az
collection, all of them minted in 1983, two of them in Denver, other two in Philadelphia.
These two Denver struck quarters are at very fine condition. Both of them impressed by erroded dies,
as the first thing that catched my eyes in these are filled in mint marks. Therefore
strike is not that sharp. Both of them displaye slight to medium wear on Washingtons hair part.
One to the left displays deep vertical gauge on head, while the other a nick of
pretty significant size. I’m not absolutely positive, cause it also looks like a crack,
a trace of faulty die. Date on both quarters exhibit slight rubbing at higer points. On the
reverse we se always seen softness on breast of eagle, which is typical for circulated quarters.
This one has a very deep horizontal abrasion on the left. Around lower letterings we see some
cloudiness and shapes of letters are little bit distorted could be struck trough grease.
And here are Phily struck quarters. As you can see some pecularites catche the eye in those two,
on to the right has large seawed toned patina, while one to the left displays serious flan flaws.
Here another trace of die detioriation. . And a massive dent causing a flan
flaw. I’m not sure weather it is pre-mint or post –mint defect.
