What is the value of a 1954 US quarter?

Answer 1

1954 quarters are fairly common. They were struck in 90% silver and in circulated condition are basically worth their metal value. Look on the back of the coin to see if there's a small mint mark letter below the bow in the wreath. It may be blank or there may be a D or S.
