What is the value of a 1924 U.S. quarter?

Answer 1

Look on the front of the coin to see if there's a small mint mark letter at the bottom of the pedestal with IN GOD written on it. It may be blank or there may be a D or S. (The M on the other pedestal is the designer's monogram and not a mint mark.)

Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 02/2014:

No mint mark (Philadelphia):

Very worn condition - $15

Moderately worn - $24

Slightly worn - $30

Almost no wear - $94

"D" mint mark (Denver):

Very worn - $49

Moderately worn - $97

Slightly worn - $121

Almost no wear - $198

Uncirculated - $264 to $9,520

"S" mint mark (San Francisco):

DISCLAIMER: The retail values quoted are the best available as of the date shown, but may vary significantly due to changes in the precious metals market. Also the wholesale (buying) price of a coin will be less than the selling (retail) price. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.

Check the pedestal on the left side of the coin next to Miss Liberty's foot to see if there's a small mint mark letter. [The M on the other pedestal is the designer's initial, NOT a mint mark]
