Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in determining the value of 1992 Quarters. While circulated examples are generally worth only face value, uncirculated coins can command a premium. Coins in MS65 and above are particularly desirable, with those grading MS67 or higher being quite scarce and valuable.
For proof coins, the difference between a PR69 and a perfect PR70 can be significant in terms of value. Cameo and Deep Cameo contrasts in proof coins can also increase their desirability and value among collectors.

Strike quality is an important factor for 1992 Quarters, with well-struck examples commanding higher premiums. Luster is another key consideration, particularly for uncirculated coins. Coins with full, cartwheel luster are more desirable than those with subdued or uneven luster.
Toning can significantly impact value, especially for proof coins. Natural, attractive toning can enhance a coin’s appeal and value, while unattractive or artificial toning can detract from it. For circulation strikes, coins with minimal contact marks and abrasions are more valuable, particularly in higher grades.
