What is the value of a pre-1965 US quarter?
Pre-1965 US quarters are 90% silver with a value of about $2.50 just for the silver.
Do quarters minted from 1965 to 1985 contain more silver than coins minted after 1985?
Quarters minted after 1965 do not contain silver. Only pre-1965 were struck with a certain percent of sliver.
Are pre 1965 quarters rare?
They aren't rare, they are, however 90% silver and worth a bit over $5 each at the time of writing in silver content alone. Many, many, many, pre-1965 quarters were made but simply the fact they were made out of silver is what makes them valuable. Now, there are, of course, some rare years of silver quarters, but there are also very common dates (like 1964).
What is the weight of pre-1965 us coins?
The weights of pre-1965 silver coins are as follows. Dimes: 2.5 grams. Quarters: 6.25 grams. Half dollars: 12.5 grams. Silver dollars: 26.73 grams.
Are pre-1964 quarters worth more that post 1964 quarters because of the silver content usedNOTICE?
Yes, the reason why quarters (and dimes, and half dollars) dated 1964 and earlier are worth more than their 1965 and later coins is because they are 90% silver.
