Carroll John Daly (Yonkers NY September 14, 1889 – Los Angeles CA January 16, 1958) was a writer of crime fiction.[1]
Career[edit]Daly has been credited with creating the first hard-boiled story, 'The False Burton Combs', published in Black Mask magazine in December 1922, followed closely by 'It's All in the Game' (Black Mask, April 1923) and the PI story 'Three Gun Terry' (Black Mask, May 1923).[2][3] Daly's private detective Race Williams first appeared in 'Knights of the Open Palm', an anti-Ku Klux Klan story.[1] 'Knights of the Open Palm' was published June 1, 1923, in Black Mask, predating the October 1923 debut of Dashiell Hammett's Continental Op character.[4][5][6] Although Black Mask editor George Sutton did not like the Race Williams stories, they were so popular with readers that he asked Daly to continue writing them.[1] Daly's Williams was a rough-and-ready character with a sharp tongue and established the model for many later acerbic private eyes.
Daly also created other pulp detectives, including Detective Satan Hall, 'Three-Gun Terry' Mack, and Vee Brown.[7] During the 1920s and 1930s, Daly was considered the leader of the naturalistic school of crime writers. Daly was a hugely popular author: his name on a pulp magazine cover meant an increase in sales.[7] A Black Mask readers' poll once showed Daly as the most popular writer in the magazine, ahead of Hammett and Erle Stanley Gardner.[7] In addition to Black Mask, Daly also wrote for other pulp magazines, including Detective Fiction Weekly and Dime Detective.[8]
In the 1940s, Daly's work fell out of fashion with crime fiction readers, and he moved to California to work on comics[9] and film scripts. When Mickey Spillane became a bestselling novelist with Mike Hammer, a character similar to Daly's detectives, Daly remarked 'I'm broke, and this guy gets rich writing about my detective.'[1] However, Spillane wrote Daly a fan letter saying that Race Williams was the model for his own Mike Hammer. The story goes (at least as far as Spillane told it) that when Daly's agent at the time saw the letter, she instituted a plagiarism suit. Whereupon Daly canned her because he hadn't gotten a fan letter in years and he sure as hell wasn't about to sue anybody who had actually taken the time to write one.

Washington Quarter OverviewOne of the most iconic and common U.S. coins, the Washington quarter has remained popular throughout its long mintage and is a great coin for beginning collectors.
The Washington quarter was created in 1932, when America was suffering the economic pangs of the Great Depression. Jackpot city slots online. Despite having no need of new quarter pieces, the Mint devised the Washington quarter as a way of commemorating the bicentennial of George Washington's birth.
It was John Flanagan who designed the beloved coin. The instantly-recognizable obverse features a profile bust portrait of Washington with the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' in the left field. Above Washington's head is the word 'LIBERTY,' and below him is the year of mintage.
The reverse is dominated by an eagle with outspread wings perched above an olive branch. Above the eagle's head are the legends 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and 'E PLURIBUS UNUM,' and the denomination 'QUARTER DOLLAR' is found on the lower rim. 
In terms of composition, there are two types of Washington quarters. The first type, which was used from 1932 to 1964, consisted of 90% silver and 10% copper.
The second composition type came as a response to a spike in the price of silver which made minting of the silver quarters unsustainable. This second type was implemented in 1965 and consists of 91.67% copper and 8.33% nickel. 
Washington quarters were minted until 1998, when they were replaced by the Washington State quarters. Flanagan's obverse design continued to be used in a slightly modified form.
History of the 1937 Washington Quarter1937, the sixth year of production for the Washington quarter, saw a decrease in the number of quarters produced, likely in response to the brief economic recession that plagued 1937 and 1938. 
In this year, quarters were struck at three locations: Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco.
The majority were produced at Philadelphia: 19,690,000. In general, these Philadelphia coins show high quality strikes and luster.
1937 Dime ValeNext is Denver, which reports minting 7,189,600 quarters. These coins generally display the highest quality strikes of all three mints. 
The San Francisco mint struck the lowest number of quarters: 1,652,000. San Francisco-produced quarters of this year are unique in that their obverse rim is a bit higher up on the coin, touching the mintage date numerals. The result of this is that the obverse face tends to wear less with circulation than the reverse face.
1937 Dime With Lady On ItWhat is a bicentennial quarter worth today. Additionally, a major doubled die obverse is known for Philadelphia quarters of this year.
Compositionally, 1937 quarters fall within the first type of 90% silver. Typical for the series, they have a diameter of 24.3 millimeters and a mass of 6.25 grams.
Valuing the 1937 Washington QuarterDespite their lower mintage, 1937 Washington quarters are still relatively common today and may even show up from time to time in pocket change. Nevertheless, they carry fair prices even in lower grades, and higher grades can bring a fine premium.
As with any coin that contains a significant portion of precious metal, the 1937 quarter's minimum value is often its melt value. Based on the current price of silver, the melt value for this coin is around $2.80.
Numismatically, the value of this coin varies depending not only on condition but also on mint location.
Philadelphia mintages, which show no mint mark, generally bring the lowest values. Good-4 to Very Fine-20 grade coins are valued at $4.16. This is the average value for these coins.

The value increases to $5.23 in Extremely Fine-40, $9.13 in About Uncirculated-50, $25 in Uncirculated (MS-60), and $93 in Uncirculated (MS-65). Proofs are worth $504.
1937 Dime Mint MarkDenver mintages are worth a bit more and can be identified by a 'D' mint mark above the denomination on the reverse face. Good-4 to Very Good-8 grades are worth $4.16.
This value increases to $6.08 in Fine-12, $8.33 in Very Fine-20, $12 in Extremely Fine-40, $31 in About Uncirculated-50, $72 in Uncirculated (MS-60), and $153 in Uncirculated (MS-65).
San Francisco mintages, likely due to their low production number, are the most valuable of the three locations and are signified by an 'S' mint mark.
The value of San Francisco quarters are as follows: $7.20 for Good-4, $12 for Very Good-8, $21 for Fine-12, $25 for Very Fine-20, $35 for Extremely Fine-40, $97 for About Uncirculated-50, $153 for Uncirculated (MS-60), and $410 for Uncirculated (MS-65).
Far and away the most valuable 1937 quarter is the doubled die obverse variety. Good-4 grades of this unique coin are worth $232. Very Good-8 to Fine-12 grades range from $310 to $335. Very Fine-20 coins are worth $504, and Extremely Fine-40 grades are worth $708.
The value increases dramatically to $1,547 in About Uncirculated-50 and $2,541 in Uncirculated (MS-60). Uncirculated (MS-65) examples may be worth up to $12,262!
Doubled die obverse quarters are most easily identified by looking at the 'IN GOD WE TRUST' inscription. If you think you have one of these varieties, consider having it certified by a professional grading service.
