About the 2017 quarter

The 2017 quarter is a regular circulation issue, struck in copper-nickel clad copper, weighing 5.67 g, 24.3 mm across, from a design by William Cousins. It was struck at Philadelphia, Denver — 2,116,000,000 coins in all, which is why an ordinary example is worth close to face value however well it has been kept.

For scale, 2017 mintage was 18% lower than in 2022 (2,567,600,000 that year) — enough to compare, not enough to change how the coin is valued today.

Denver made the fewest at 1,031,400,000, against 1,084,600,000 from Philadelphia. The mints are within the same order of magnitude, so on this date the mint mark does far less to the price than condition does.

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 $875, and PCGS has graded 1 that high. Everything between those two numbers is a question of how the coin was handled in its first weeks.

Legends on this design — obverse: “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA · IN · GOD WE · TRUST · LIBERTY P · QUARTER DOLLAR”. Reverse: “EFFIGY MOUNDS · RaM”.

Population figures put that in perspective. Across the grades listed here PCGS has certified 3,426 examples of this date, and only 1 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.

How to identify your 2017 quarter

What if it has already been cleaned?

Still identifies the same — you lose the premium. Don't try to fix it.

Where is the mint mark

It sits on the obverse to the right of Washington's ponytail. No letter means Philadelphia — normal, not rare. What the letter means →

Proof and collector versions

Alongside the coins made for circulation, the Mint sold 15 collector versions of the 2017 2017 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. They carry an S mint mark and a mirror or satin finish that is obvious next to an ordinary coin. The scarcest was struck in 225,000.

What to do with your 2017 quarter

  1. Don't clean it

    Leave the surface alone — see the warning above.

  2. Is it worth grading?

    Grading costs roughly $50–100 per coin. For this coin it can pay off in high grades — MS68 examples are valued at $175, and the top of the scale runs to $750. Grading is worth considering only if the coin has no wear and full original lustre.

  3. Where to sell

    Dealer: fastest, pays least. Auction: best for coins worth $100+. eBay: most buyers, most fees.

FAQ

How much is a 2017 quarter worth?

A circulated 2017 quarter is worth $0.25 to $1.00 depending on condition and mint mark. In top uncirculated grades it goes much higher — the PCGS guide reaches $875 in MS68.

How many 2017 quarters were made?

About 2,116,000,000 in total spread across 5 designs — Philadelphia 1,084,600,000, Denver 1,031,400,000. That is a large mintage, which is why circulated examples stay inexpensive.

How many different 2017 quarters are there?

5 designs were issued in 2017: Effigy Mounds National Monument, Iowa, Frederick Douglass National Historic Site, District of Columbia, George Rogers Clark National Historical Park, Indiana, Ozark National Scenic Riverways, Missouri, Statue of Liberty National Monument), New Jersey. Each was struck at Philadelphia and Denver, so a complete set of circulation coins is 10 pieces.

Where is the mint mark on a 2017 quarter?

See “Where is the mint mark” above.

Are there rare 2017 quarter varieties?

No major varieties are catalogued for this date. That does not rule out minting errors on individual coins — off-centre strikes, clipped planchets and doubled dies turn up in any year — but there is no known variety that makes the date itself scarce. With 2,116,000,000 struck, a variety would need to be genuinely rare to stand out from a run this size.

What is the S quarter from 2017?

An S mint mark on a 2017 quarter means a collector coin from San Francisco — 15 proof and special-finish versions were sold in sets rather than released into circulation. The scarcest was struck in 225,000. They are not found in change.
