Now here is a very challenging series to collect. Today quarters are made in the billions per year. These quarters were made from 1916 to 1930 and mintages range from 52,000 in 1916 to a high of 27,860,000 in 1920 which is about two times as many as the next highest of 14,240,000 in 1918! The low Philadelphia mintage is 1916 at 52,000, next is 1921 at 1,916,000, and third lowest is 1930 at 5,632,000. The low Denver mintage is 1927 at 976,000, next is 1929 at 1,358,000, and third lowest is 1917 Variety I at 1,509,200. The low S mintmark is 1927 at 396,000, next is 1923 at 1,360,000, and the third lowest is 1930 at 1,556,000. These are low mintages for circulating coins, plus there was alot of problems in the design and striking of these quarters because the features of the higher grades are weak and the rest of the surviving quarters are very worn, some with no dates. That is why in 1925 the date was placed in a recess to keep it from wearing away. You see this makes for a very challenging series to collect.
