1932 – 1964 Silver Quarters are 90% silver. These silver quarters along with many other silver coins are classified as “junk silver“, read more about junk silver as an investment. Junk Silver is simply a silver coin that has been used in circulation but now is sold for its silver content instead of the face value.
Listed below are the mintage numbers for each year. The year column lists the year and mint mark on the coin where, D is for Denver, S is for San Francisco, and P is for Philadelphia. Also, a coin without a mint mark means the coin was minted in Philadelphia.
The Mintage column is the number of coins struck and released by the U.S. Mint.
The Numismatic Value Range column represents what people typically pay for that type of coin (usually a very wide price range depending on the condition and demand of the coin). There are some other silver coins that are the most valuable silver coins. The highest selling silver quarters are indeed some of the rare silver coins.

Where to Buy Junk Silver Quarters
Money Metals Exchange offers junk silver at competitive prices. The founder believes (as do we) that investors should buy precious metals at or near the spot price of the metal. Low prices like that have helped Money Metals Exchange’s rapid growth. Read reviews of Money Metals Exchange.
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.
if there is no marking on it then it was minted in philadelphia
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.”
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..
i was at work today and this guy came and pay me tree dollar of quarters.these quarters range is from 1957 to 1964 and six of these quarters have D on it.
is this worth anything??? And if it is how much????
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!!!
well ok, i was holding on this 1941 quarter and was wondering, is really worth just 3 bucks, somebody get at me, PLEASE!
I have a 1964 quarter, D stamp, that does not have serrated edges and sits as if it is inside a ring. Has anyone ever encountered this before? If so can you tell me if it is rare. Thank you.
I have two bags of silver quarters weighing approximately 25 lbs. Unknown if they have been inspected by a collector. I need to sell these. How should I go about this to avoid fraud?
Which would be more valuable, numismatic or silver content?
Thanks,
Jerry
I have a up side down 1964 silver quarter. Is there any worth to this.
What about a quarter with a drummer on the back?

Tammy, check out the Silver Monthly Coin Value Calculator at http://www.silvermonthly.com/meltvalue/
I have a bunch of these that my dad wants to sell. where would I find the “Numismatic Value” in my area? where can I find a collector?
I have three silver quarters two 1964 one marked with a D and one 1957 marked with a D, can anyone tell me their value?
The best way to find the “Numismatic Value” is eBay. Search the similar coin and find out what price others are willing to buy the coin for. Otherwise, you can buy coin guides that will give you a ball park figure.
I have 3 silver quaters very worn but i wold like to sell them who actually buy them ?
Where can I sel my 1936-1964 silver quarter collection

Actually there is a modern quarter set worth collecting – the state quarter series – i silver proof.

That’s $1,500, I must have added a zero in there. Opps…
I found a 1963 Silver Quarter D mint. The eagle is upside down from the front of the quarter. Is there any value to this coin and if so how much?
Thanks!
I recently found a tote (bout a hundred lbs.) full of quarters pre 1964. All silver pieces according to the jingle. What do I do?
