- John Flanagan’s George Washington quarter is by far one of the most popular collectible coins today and easily the workhorse coin of all circulating U.S. All silver George Washington quarters made from 1932 through 1964 have a minimal value of around $4 and up — so they’re definitely worth hanging on to, if you happen to find any.
Just about all modern government-issued coin sets are worth very little. Depending on the specifics of your 1973 set, it retails for about what you paid for it, between about $5 to $25 US dollars. A dealer who would buy it from you and sell it to someone else would pay about half of the retail value.
Your set, however, being dated 1973, carries a faint possibility of being worth hundreds of dollars. Look at the picture of the two quarters. There are very slight variations between them. These variations are somewhat noticeable in the Queen's hair. The hair on the low-value (small bust) piece shows more detail than the hair on the high-value (large bust) piece. If you have a set with a large bust quarter, it is worth between $100 and $300, maybe more.
Now if you are a dedicated collector who enjoys die varieties, it is time to get our your magnifying glass. A steady hand can count the small beads or denticles around the outside of the coin. The valuable large bust has 132 denticles. The non-valuable small bust has 120.
Thanks to mbird over at CoinTalk who gave us the idea for the 'count the dots' analysis. It works like a charm.

The reverse of the 25 cents 1973 was chosen to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the North-West Mounted Police later called the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The obverse, smaller and more detailed, was also chosen for 1973. By cons, a small amount of 25 cents coins were produced in 1973 with the obverse of 1972, creating these two varieties : Small Bust and Large Bust. According to the Chartlon, the amount of coins with the Large Bust does not exceed 10 000.
