The Mint produced Proof Washington Quarters from 1936-1964. Proof Quarters from 1932-1964 did not contain a mint mark. In 1965-1967 the Mint did not produce Proof Washington Quarters. And then in 1968 it began to produce Proof Washington Quarters again, this time the coins had an S mint mark indicating they were struck at the San Francisco Mint.

Proof 1969-S Quarters came in really nice quality overall. Examples in Cameo and Deep Cameo can also be acquired with minimal effort. Only in PR68 Deep Cameo condition or higher do they become really scarce. In PR69 Deep Cameo condition they are even scarcer with less than about 100 examples known and none being graded higher.

Rarity and Survival Estimates Learn More

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.	Numismatic Rarity Numismatic Rarity converts the Survival Estimate for a particular coin into a number from 1 to 10 (with decimal increments) based on the PCGS Rarity Scale. The higher the number, the more rare the coin.	Relative Rarity by Type Relative Rarity By Type ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Type. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.	Relative Rarity by Series Relative Rarity By Series ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Series. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.
