1978 Quarter No Mint Mark
The law specifies that the quarter of coverage (QC) amount for 2021 is equal to the 1978 amount of $250 multiplied by the ratio of the national average wage index for 2019 to that for 1976, or, if larger, the 2020 amount of $1,410. If the amount so determined is not a multiple of $10, it shall be rounded to the nearest multiple of $10. Coin Dealer Insight: 1978 saw another 'common' year for Washington quarters. With production in excess of 800 million 1978 Washington quarters from the combined efforts of the Philadelphia and Denver mints, only coins MS-63 and higher hold any substantial additional value.

Latest amount & QC explanation History For years before 1978, an individual generally was credited with a quarter of coverage for each quarter in which wages of $50 or more were paid, or an individual was credited with 4 quarters of coverage for every taxable year in which $400 or more of self-employment income was earned. Beginning in 1978, employers generally report wages on an annual, instead of quarterly, basis. With this change to annual reporting, the law provided that a quarter of coverage be credited for each $250 of an individual's total wages and self-employment income for calendar year 1978 (up to a maximum of 4 quarters of coverage for the year). After 1978, the amount of earnings needed for a quarter of coverage changes automatically each year with changes in the national average wage index.
