Among regular strikes there really aren't any rare quarters from that period. By the start of WWII the Mint was churning out carloads of quarters every year and that's continued ever since. The only truly scarce regular strikes are 1932-D and 1932-S.
However there are 2 1950 quarters that are worth a moderately significant premium. An engraver interchanged the mint marks on both 1950-D and 1950-S dies so there's one variety with the D punched over an S, and the other with an S over a D. These range from about $30 retail in the lowest collectible grade to several hundred in uncirculated condition.

Are pre 1965 quarters rare?
They aren't rare, they are, however 90% silver and worth a bit over $5 each at the time of writing in silver content alone. Many, many, many, pre-1965 quarters were made but simply the fact they were made out of silver is what makes them valuable. Now, there are, of course, some rare years of silver quarters, but there are also very common dates (like 1964).
What is the value of a 1944 silver quarter?
U.S. quarters, starting from 1932, are called "Washington quarters." Washington quarters dated from 1932 to 1964 are made with 90% silver and 10% copper, and weigh 6.25 grams. The value of the metals depends on the market price of silver and copper. As of October 5, 2007, the value of the silver in a pre-1964 Washington quarter is $2.41 (market price of silver $13.39 per ounce) and the value of the copper in a pre-1964 Washington quarter is about a half of a cent, giving the total value of a pre-1964 Washington quarter about $2.42. If the coin is rare, and/or is in mint like condition, it could be worth significantly more. None of the 1944 Washington quarters (Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Denver mints) are rare, but if the coin is in mint state, it would be worth about $35.
