Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in determining the value of 1958 Washington Quarters. Circulated examples are common and generally trade for their silver content value. However, uncirculated coins in high grades (MS65 and above) can command significant premiums.
For proof coins, the presence of cameo or deep cameo contrast can greatly enhance value. Coins with strong visual appeal, including those with attractive toning, often fetch higher prices among collectors.
