Back in the 1950s and 1960s, the 1942-S was considered the rarest Washington quarter of the 1940s. Today, this issue must be considered scarce only as many Gems exist, including a good number of Superb Gem MS66 examples.
I purchased this coin not only to fill a slot in my collection, but also as it's a silver con. The newer quarters can't and don't match the quality of the older silver quarters. When you hold a silver coin in your hands, you're actually holding something of value, e.g. - hard currency. Non-silver coins have little to no value except for boing backed by the government. Silver coinage can be used the world over. In my opinion, get as much silver coinage as you can afford.
