1937 Doubled Die Washington quarter value guide -- the variety explained, real auction record, and grade-by-grade prices.
Condition drives the price — full breakdown below.
Note: a full grade-by-grade breakdown for this coin is still being compiled.
19,701,542 struck — against the other key dates in the Washington Quarter series.
Bars are scaled to keep the smallest mintages visible; the exact figure is printed on every row. Mintage is coins struck, not coins surviving — melting and circulation wear thin those numbers further.
Doubling shows on "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the 1937 date itself -- one of the major, widely-recognized doubled dies in the series.
PCGS CoinFacts lists an all-time auction record of $22,250 for a top-graded example.
Other dates and varieties in this series
What to check before you pay, specific to this date and its 19,701,542-coin mintage.
The same date runs from about $291 worn to $11,101 at the top of the scale — a 38× spread. Nearly all of that gap is condition, not the date on the coin, so work out where an example sits on the table above before deciding whether its asking price is fair.
A PCGS or NGC holder settles authenticity and grade in one go, which is most of what you're actually paying for at this level. The premium it adds is small next to the cost of being wrong about either.
Every Washington Quarter listed here is priced by an individual seller, so the same coin in the same grade can differ by a wide margin on any given day. Sort by price, check Metal Points and order history for a sense of the seller's record, and message them if the photos don't show enough to grade confidently.
