What is the value of an 1852 US quarter?

Answer 1

Look on the back of the coin to see if there's a small mint mark letter below the eagle. It may be blank or there may be an O.

Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 11/2010:

No mint mark (Philadelphia):

Very worn condition - $39

Moderately worn - $86

Slightly worn - $192

Almost no wear - $480

Uncirculated - $990 to $11,440 depending on quality

"O" mint mark (New Orleans):

Very worn - $240

Moderately worn - $660

Slightly worn - $1,650

Almost no wear - $5,876

Uncirculated - $15,630 to $58,130

DISCLAIMER: The retail values quoted are the best available, but may vary due to market fluctuations. 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.
