Description: The 1965 quarters have a unique history in the coinage market. They have some interesting facts that attract both owners and coin buyers. Their release was towards the end of 1964. Most traders in the US were facing the problem of a coin shortage. In 1963 and 1964, people used the silver Kennedy half-dollars and Roosevelt dimes to trade. But the price of silver saw a sharp rise. The increase in the price by most coin collectors increased the costs of the two coins series. People chose to hoard them in large numbers to help them make a profit. Remember, during a silver quarter dollar was worth 93.3 cents in the market. It became tough for the banks to circulate the silver coins because they were less. So, the government had to design a plan to address the issue. It began by reducing the mintage of Roosevelt and Kennedy half-dollars by 10% in 1963. But in 1964, the mints reduced production by another 5%. Most people thought that the government’s move would reduce the problem.Also, by July 23rd, 1964, President Lyndon Johnson signed the bill to make new coins. The coins were to be the 1965 quarters in the form of clad coins. A clad coin comes from three metal layers. A great artist, John Flanagan, designed the art on the head and tail of the 1965 quarter coins.Like any other US quarter, the 1965 Washington quarter celebrated the birth of its first president, George Washington. Some collectors will only go for the 1965 quarter coins because of this fact. It attracted the interest of many collectors during that year. Also, today, most dealers yearn to have this coin because of its unique structure. Most Americans had now gotten used to coins with silver material. But as for the 1965 quarters, they had no element of silver.After the government released them in 1965, the public loved the design. So, the traders labeled it the best coin for trade.Remember, the US government only tasked the Philadelphia mint to strike these coins. The artisans struck around 1,819,717,540 1965 quarter units. Also, the Denver and San Francisco mints weren’t operating during that period. So, don’t expect to get any 1965 quarter coins with a mint mark.
