Introduction of Coins
Despite the recession of 1937-38, quarter dollar production actually rose during 1937, a reflection of how few coins had been struck there in the first years of the decade. 1937-D quarters are readily available in grades up through MS 66, but the population drops off drastically above that level. Typical of Denver Mint coins from this period and lasting into the 1950s, the D-Mint quarters are the most consistently well struck of the three mints' output.Read More
