What is the value of a 1963 US quarter?

Answer 1

Late-date silver quarters (mid-50s through 1964) are generally worth their metal value unless they're in uncirculated condition. In average circulated condition, their value is determined mostly by the silver they contain. 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.

If the coin is uncirculated look on the back to see if there's a small mint mark letter below the bow in the wreath. It may be blank or there may be a D. Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 04/2010:

No mint mark (Philadelphia): $4.31 to $550.00 depending on quality

"D" mint mark (Denver): $4.31 to $1260.00

AnswerA coin dealer would pay you for the silver in the coin (about $3 - $4 on today's market). It could be worth more, the condition of the coin affects the value. However, if you just found it in your loose change (circulated), chances are it's only worth a couple bucks.
the current rule of thumb is that standard circulating silver quarters (quarters generally dated 1964 or before) are valued at approx. 5 times their face value, or about $1.25 each. Condition are rarity can affect the value paid. Better value is usually assigned to larger quantities, weighing one pond or more. See any jeweler or silver buyer for a quote.
