Notes: 70% of all quarters minted in 1943 were 1943 P Washington Quarters. There were no proofs issued. Not sure what was up with the US Mints in 1942, and 1943, but all have double die errors. Double Die errors occur when the die strikes the planchet more than once. Look closely at the lettering to see if it has been doubled. DDO versions are selling for many thousands of dollars, and appear to be pelntiful enough that they should appear regularly in circulation. This may be a year to make a mental note on.

How much is a 1943 Quarter worth?
In Average Circulated (AC) condition it's worth around $5.00, one in certified mint state (MS+) condition could bring as much as $56 at auction. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale. So when we say Average Circulated, we mean in a similar condition to other coins circulated in 1943, and mint state meaning it is certified MS+ by one of the top coin grading companies. *** [?].
