1961 is not a rare date for Washington quarters. In average circulated condition, its value is determined mostly by the silver it contains. The price of silver changes every day, so check a newspaper or financial site for the current price, then multiply by 0.18 for a rough retail value. A dealer will pay half to 2/3 of that amount.

Most uncirculated ones run from about $7 up to $30 depending on their quality; the absolute top is around $1700 for a coin in MS-67 condition.

"Pure silver"

US Coins were never pure silver - it's too soft. Silver quarters actually contained 10% copper to make them more wear-resistant.
