About the 1967 quarter
The 1967 quarter is a regular circulation issue, struck in copper-nickel clad copper, weighing 5.67 g, 24.26 mm across, from a design by John Flanagan. 1,524,031,848 were struck at Philadelphia.
For scale, 1967 mintage was 16% lower than in 1965, when 1,819,717,540 were struck.
The spread on this date is almost entirely about condition. A worn example is $0.25; the same coin certified MS68 carries a guide value of $5,250, and PCGS has graded 5 that high. Everything between those two numbers is a question of how the coin was handled in its first weeks.
Population figures put that in perspective. Across the grades listed here PCGS has certified 4,059 examples of this date, and only 5 of them reached MS68. A coin that spent years in a till will not be among them; one pulled from a roll and never touched might be. That gap is the whole reason two coins with the same date sell for very different money.
There is also a record of what people actually paid. The highest recorded sale for this date is $15, at Heritage Auctions in December 2011. Auction results move around the guide values rather than matching them — the same coin can bring more on a day two determined bidders want it, and less when nobody does.

Proof and collector versions
Alongside the coins made for circulation, the Mint sold 1 collector version of the 1967 1967 quarter — proofs and special finishes struck at San Francisco and sold directly in sets.These never entered circulation, so if your coin came out of a till or a jar it is not one of them.
