The "M" that you see is the designer, Hermon MacNeil's monogram and is on all Standing Liberty quarters the Mintmark (if any) is to the left of the date. Assuming the coin is circulated, the 1926 is a fairly common date of the series. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. Most coins of this type have seen heavy use and show a lot of wear. In general retail values for low grade coins are $5.00-$7.00, better grade are $12.00-$33.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $67.00-$106.00. Values are a market average and only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched or have been cleaned have far less value if any to a collector or dealer
A Quarter Krugerrand is worth about $300.
Imagine you have 2 different types of bonds:Compound:Let's say bond value is £100 and you get 4% quarterly interest on this investment.Your bond value after one quarter will be:Bond Value=£100Interest Earned: 4%=£4Total Value=£104After 2nd quarter, the bond value would be:Opening Value from quarter 1=£104Interest Earned: 4%=£4.16Total Value=££108.16After 3rd quarter, the bond value would be:Opening Value from quarter 1=£108.16Interest Earned: 4%=£4.33Total Value=££112.49After 4th quarter(or after a year), the bond value would be:Opening Value from quarter 1=£112.49Interest Earned: 4%=£4.50Total Value=££116.99SimpleBond Value=£100Interest Earned=16%(because it's 4% per quarter and there are 4 quarters in a year)=£16Total Bond Value=£116so bond value after a year is more under Compound than it is under Simple interest bond.The reason is because simple interest is calculated on one single figure while compound interest is calculated over the opening figure of month,quarter or year.So compound interest gives more interest income and hence it's better than simple interest bond.
As a rough estimate of this coins value, assuming the coin in poor condition, it would be valued at around $8. One in perfect or mint condition can be worth as much as $285.
Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question. There were no 1926-dated US $10 bills.
The US didn't print any $5 bills dated 1926. Please check again and post a new question.
Sorry, but M is not a mintmark. See the related question below.
The letter "M" is not a mintmark. It is the designers monogram. Post a new question and structure it like this to get the best answer- "What is the value of a <date> <country> <denomination> or "What is a <date> <country> <denomination>?".
The M is Hermon MacNeil's initial the man that designed the coin.
worn or average condition 6-9$
any quarter prior to 1961 is currently worth at least 2 dollars in silver content
The M is not a mintmark but the monogram of the designer. See the related question below.
Please check your coin again and post a new question. The first Washington quarters were minted in 1932.
the "M" on the front of a Standing Liberty quarter is the monogram of the coin's designer rather than a mint mark. Please see the Related Question for more information.
The 1927 Philadelphia issue Standing Liberty quarter is common, the "M" is the designer's initial. In average circulated condition the values are $8.00-$15.00.
August 1, 2009 The US Mint has not issued a quarter with an "M" stamped on it. Probably what you have is a quarter that someone has put their initial on or marked it for some reason. With such a mark it has no numismatic value but is worth $2.52 for the silver it contains.
To clear things up:> It's a Standing Liberty quarter. The Walking Liberty design was used on half dollars.> M is the initial of the designer, H. A. MacNiel. The mint mark position is on the opposite pillar next to Miss Liberty's foot.> A "walking head" would be pretty interesting, though anatomically impossible....Please see the Related Question.
Value depends on the date, mintmark and grade. The "M" is the designers monogram, it's on all the coins.
