Sets of 2014 quarters, proofs and colorized.

In 2014, the U.S. Mint issued quarters from the America the Beautiful Quarters Program, which ran from 2010 to 2021. Each year featured 5 different national sites (parks, forests, monuments, etc.).

Arches National Park (Utah) – released June 2014.
Great Sand Dunes National Park (Colorado) – released August 2014.

Arches 2014 quarter features the iconic Delicate Arch, perhaps Utah’s most famous natural landmark. Behind the arch lie the La Sal Mountains, framing the arch. Compared to other designs, this quarter is, perhaps, the least “lively”, featuring only landscapes.

Did you know that the Great Sand Dunes formed due to the mountain's erosion? And that said mountains were formed from volcanic activity?

Mint Marks and Silver Proof Varieties

Silver Everglades and Great Sand Dunes quarters.

People distinguished the 2014 quarters by their designs. Yet there are other, perhaps less notable distinctions.

Different Mint facilities produced the series:

Philadelphia Mint (P): Made and circulated 2014 P quarters.
Denver (D): Made circulated 2014 D quarters.
San Francisco (S): Made silver proof coins and some circulation-quality coins for collectors.

How to identify P, D, and S coins? You look for their mint mark, located on the obverse, to the right of George Washington's portrait.

As said, San Francisco was behind the silver proof quarter 2014 releases. Compared to the circulated copper-nickel composition, silver is more precious. Most silver releases (for any design) are worth $20+.

Today, some silver proof coins also have coloured versions (like Beatrix Potter 50p Coins in the UK). America the Beautiful aso comes in colorized sets.

2014 Quarter Error List with Pictures

Modern coins today have estranged relationships with errors. Some releases have errors, and others have none (or at least for now, no errors were found).

With these coins, some have exclusive or frequent errors, and others have none. Let’s look at the individual errors:

2014 Shenandoah Quarter without a proper plating, exposing copper.

2014 Shenandoah quarter errors: Mostly exhibit cases of doubling and die deterioration. As with many plated pieces (like copper dimes and quarters), it may be missing the plating, exposing the copper parts underneath.
2014 Great Smoky Mountains quarter errors: For a long time, it had no recognized error, until someone noticed Philadelphia-made pieces missing their P mint marks. Such an error is extremely rare.
2014 Arches quarter errors: A; sp exhibits problems with lamination and doubling. Compared to most, it has more frequent misstrikes, mainly with off-center and road-stuck pieces.
2014 Everglades quarter errors: Has no officially recognized errors currently! Some report die breaks, but the validity is only for you to judge. A similar situation happened in the UK with William Shakespeare £2, where out of three designs, only one had an error.
2014 Great Sand Dunes quarter error: No official errors. Some reported troubles with the coin's ring, but it’s considered a minting quirk by most, not a true error.

The values of these errors are a separate case each time. Some errors, like missing mint marks, could be $1,000+!

2014 Quarter Value

We’ve got a sneak peek at the values before. Now it's time to make a big table with all the info we’ve gathered.

Design	Circulated (typical)	Uncirculated P/D (MS-63 to MS-65)	San Francisco (S) Uncirculated	Proof
Great Smoky Mountains	$0.25	$0.50 – $1	$2 – $8	$3 – $6
Shenandoah	$0.25	$1 – $2	$5 – $15+	$3 – $6
Arches	$0.25	$1 – $3	$8 – $12+	$3 – $6
Great Sand Dunes	$0.25	$1 – $2	$5 – $10+	$3 – $6
Everglades	$0.25	$1 – $3	$5 – $12+	$3 – $6

All in all, such values are common for most modern pieces, barely above the face value. 2014 arches quarter value, with Everglades, seems to sometimes be just a little higher.

For now, these bits are just too modern and abundant to be considered rare. Only coins with errors could make the price skyrocket. Good luck finding such rare and precious coins.
