- Mintage rank
- 4 of 37
Rank 1 is the lowest business-strike mintage in the series. Mintage is what the Mint produced, not what survives. These circulated through the 1920s and 1930s and were melted for their silver later, none of it recorded by date. On the 1916-1924 issues the date itself wore away, so a large share of what survives cannot be attributed to a year at all.
Reading the figure
Among the 10 Denver issues in the series it is the 2nd smallest. Of the 14,262,000 struck across all mints in 1929, this issue accounts for 10%. Philadelphia struck 8.2 times as many that year. The 1929 split ran Philadelphia 11,140,000, San Francisco 1,764,000 and Denver 1,358,000. The series median is 3,586,400, so fewer than half as many of these were struck as a typical date. It is the last year Denver struck the design.

Scarcity tier
Semi-key
Assigned from reported mintage alone: under 750,000 is a key date, under 2,500,000 is a semi-key.
This is a reproducible label derived from the mintage column, not a market valuation and not a Coin Curator price opinion. The same thresholds apply to every series on this site. Several dates are far harder or far easier to obtain than their mintage implies; where that is true, it is stated above.

How to read these
- The median is the middle sale after removing outliers. The range is every sale kept, including the outliers, so you can see how wide the market actually is.
- Grade drives most of the difference. A band with three sales tells you far less than a band with thirty, and the count is shown so you can weigh it.
- Sales of coins in “Details”, “Genuine” or cleaned holders are excluded, as are proofs, replicas, lots, and mounted coins. Those sell at prices that would not describe the coin on this page.
- So is any sale priced below what this same date fetches in a lower grade, which is impossible for a real coin and is how a counterfeit in a convincing holder gives itself away.
- 1 further qualifying sale fell in a grade band with fewer than 3 sales, which is too few to report a median from, so it is not shown.

The date wears off the early issues. On the 1916-1924 quarters the date sits raised on a pedestal at the base of the obverse, exposed to every hand that touched the coin. Read the full note on the series page.
What to check before buying
Nothing about this date calls for a check beyond the ones that apply to any certified coin.
And for any certified coin
Verify the certification number on the grading service’s own lookup rather than from a photograph of the label, match the listing images to the certification record including grade and any variety attribution, look for cleaning, compare the mintmark against published photographs of the genuine issue, and read the return policy before buying. The grading guide covers each of these in full.
