Comment on 1932 - 1964 Silver Quarter: 90% silver by Mike

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!!!

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..

$10,000 of silver weighs only 47 pounds.

that is not the mint mark it is the designers initial. this mint mark is on the back of the coin after the word one. No mint mark means Phili.

Pre 1965 U.S. silver coins are supposed to be 90% silver, yet a local dealer tried to tell me that only 70% is recoverable when melted, therefore he only wanted to pay me at 70% of weight not 90%. Is this legit?

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.

My fascination with slver and coin investing started about a year and a half ago. With regard to investing in physical gold/silver in relation to mining equities. From what I have read we are experiencing a significant decrease in the dollar.
My question.. why would one invest in a mining company that is based in dollars? If it is going up you would relize a profit, but wouldnt that increase be offset by the decling in the dollar? I an not sure what direction to take and what companies to select. Any recomendations. I own over 1000 ounces of silver and am close to completing a set of graded Silver Eagles. I need some help.

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.”

SLV is not what you think it is. Read the prospectus carefully. They invest in the futures market and there is no independent audit of the bullion reserve. It’s a little risky with naked shorts believing they have all that silver they claim.
