Well it is usually the ones with the S on it. At least the silver ones from 1932-1964. The keys to this group is the 1932-D and 1932- S. As for coins minted after that, all the S coins are proofs and less are minted. As for modern coins sometimes the D has less mintage for a certain year or state quarter and some times it is the P, that is the one with less mintage. With modern coins the word scarce or rare, really doesn't apply. I have no Idea how many quarters were minted with P or D. Not saying I could not find out, but there is no practical reason to do so. If you live in the east then P (Philadelphia mint) are more common. If you live out west then the D (Denver Mint) is more common. Since 1968 all S (San Francisco mint) quarters have been proofs, so you don't see these in circulation unless some one kind of goofed and spent one.

D is more rare than P. S (San Francisco) is even rarer, but I doubt that they're actually minting these quarters.
