Most silver US quarters are not rare or even scarce, but it depends on the DATE of the coin, post new question.
The silver value is about $6.00. NOTE: The US has never made a pure silver quarter, they are 90% silver & 10% copper.
Pre-1965 US quarters are 90% silver with a value of about $2.50 just for the silver.
Any silver (pre-1965) US quarter is currently worth at least $5 for its silver content. Then collector value above that depends on factors like the date and condition.
A 1942 Washington quarter is common. If it has any wear, the value is just for the silver, about $3.50.
about $6.50-$7.50
If you mean the value of a US 90% silver quarter? Minimum value, as of 6-4-11, is about $6.56.The collectible value depends on date, grade and mintmark if any.
Silver prices have been dipping over the last few weeks, so the current melt value of a US silver quarter (minted before 1965) is a little under $6.
Sorry! The US mint never made solid silver coins.
No 1972 US quarters have silver in them, the last year for silver quarters was 1964. so spend it
Authentic coins range in value from $1,000.00 to well over $50,000.00 depending on type and condition.
You don't have a pure silver quarter as the US has never minted a pure silver (99.9% pure or higher) silver quarter. Instead what you have is a 90% silver quarter which would be dated 1964 or prior. The value depends on a number of factors including the date, the mintmark and the condition. But a silver quarter is worth $5-6 in scrap silver regardless of type or condition, however some quarters can be worth significantly more.
8-15-11>> 1796 was the first year of issue for the US quarter. It's a very rare date. The value of an authentic example in the lowest collectible grade starts at $10.000.00.
