Washington quarter dates and mint marks, 1932–1998
Short answer
Washington quarters carry D for Denver and S for San Francisco. Philadelphia quarters have no mint mark until 1980, when the P was added to every denomination except the cent. Quarters dated 1965, 1966 and 1967 have no mint mark from any mint.
Two dates don't exist: no quarters were struck in 1933, and none are dated 1975 (the 1776–1976 Bicentennial quarters were struck in 1975 and 1976). The scarcest circulation strikes are 1932-D and 1932-S.
Every date and mint, 1932–1998
"No mark" means the coin was struck at Philadelphia and has no letter. A dash means that mint struck no quarters for circulation that year. Proof coins are not included.

Lowest mintages
Low mintage is one reason a date is scarce; condition matters as much, and this guide does not cover values.
| Date and mint | Coins struck for circulation |
|---|---|
| 1932-S | 408,000 |
| 1932-D | 436,800 |
| 1937-S | 1,652,000 |

Questions
Does a Washington quarter with no mint mark come from Philadelphia?
Before 1980, yes, apart from 1965–1967, when no quarter from any mint carries a mint mark. From 1980 Philadelphia quarters carry a P.
Were any quarters made in 1933?
No. The Mint struck no quarters in 1933, so the series goes from 1932 to 1934.
Why are there no 1975 quarters?
Quarters struck in 1975 and 1976 carry the dual date 1776–1976 for the Bicentennial, so none are dated 1975.
What are the key dates for Washington quarters?
By mintage, 1932-D (436,800) and 1932-S (408,000) are the lowest by far, followed by 1937-S (1,652,000).
What does S mean on a Washington quarter?
S is the San Francisco Mint. It struck circulating Washington quarters in several years up to 1954; later S quarters are proofs for collectors.
