Hello,
My name is Damian.I was recently at a gas station and received a 1942 Silver Quarter for change, kinda cool.
However, I’m not sure if it’s D, or S minted. It has no mint, so I assume it’s just a plain 1942 print. Anyway,
Should I keep it or sell it? I collect coins, but trade and sell alot. I know silver is up almost HIGHER than gold right now, but I’m really not sure about it, if you would, I would like your thoughts.

Damian to see what mint yours is look on the back under the eagle. I just got a 1964 as change too,and
took me a while to find the mint stamp.

I have 8.50 worth of silver quarters. The most valuable would be a 1944 with a S mint stamp.

I recently found 4 quarters and a dime ranging 1942 - 1963 three of the fives pieces are in good quality is it ok to leave them unsealed or should I seal them in the coin case??

I noticed an error / need clarification in the Numismatic Value listed for the 1932 D and the 1932 S.
The question: Is there too many 0’s (zero’s) or is the comma in the wrong place? IE is it Fifteen Thousand Dollars or is it One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars for the high end of the scale?
I ask because I have seen it printed on other sites as Fifteen Thousand Dollars with NO Comma.
Please advise as this is very confusing / misleading.Thank you.

I have 2 quarters one is 1934 and 1935 with no publishing markings. Silver quarters are they worth anything?

I was at work today and it just so happened that I broke a quarter roll with $10.00 worth of silver quarters. These quarters range from 1942-1964. I have done some research and have figured that this roll is worth about $133.00 in silver. I’m wondering if it’s worth more as a collectors item rather than “melt value.”
gerby, July 20th, 2008 at 2:32 pm:

I have some silver quaters of various dates. how so i determine the value of each since on some there is such a gap in value. ie 1935D could be worth any from 30 to 900. thank you for any help.

no collector value unless a rare one mixed in..go thru and check each coin for that..otherwise yes,roll just worth its ‘melt’value remember too, the coins are 90% silver not 100..as of today the melt value for junk quarters is approx $2.75 a coin..

When I was a kid, I snooped in my dad’s dresser and found a box of “quarters”. I took a few of them and dropped them in an arcade game at the bowling alley. Probably pinball since this pre-dates Pac Man. Anyway, my rear end was sore for quite awhile after my dad found out. Needless to say, the quarters were silver.
Just think how rich he would be right now had I not done this!!!
