What is the value of a 1960 US quarter?

Answer 1

1960 is not a rare date for Washington quarters. In average circulated condition, its value is determined mostly by the silver it contains. The price of silver changes every day, so check a newspaper or financial site for the current price, then multiply by 0.18 for a rough retail value. A dealer will pay half to 2/3 of that amount.

More:The value depends on where it was minted and what condition the coin is in. Also, this coin is composed of 90% silver so the minimum value is about $4 as of 01/2013. According to USA Coin Book, these are the values:

Philadelphia (no mint mark): In good condition, this coin is worth about $5.50 up to about $8.35 in MS60 mint condition. In MS65 brilliant uncirculated condition, this coin is worth about $23. Proof coins were also minted here and those are worth about $11.

Denver (small "D" mint mark): In good condition, this coin is worth about $5.50 up to about $8.35 in MS60 mint condition. In MS65 brilliant uncirculated condition, this coin is worth about $23.
