Why is 1965 quarter rare?

Thus, the year 1965 is significant for it was the year when silver was taken off from the quarter’s composition. Numismatists soundly rejected copper-nickel clad coins even though they are new and different. Most collectors were not interested with these coins for they were not silver and they were produced in such large quantities.

Where is the mint mark on a 1965 US quarter?

The Coinage Act of 1965 eliminated mint marks to discourage collecting while the Mint worked to meet the country’s coinage needs. Mint marks were placed on the reverse of coins until 1968 when they moved to the obverse. The San Francisco Mint made circulating coins with the “S” mint mark from 1854 to 1955.
