What is the value of an 1882 US quarter?

Answer 1

An 1882 Liberty Seated quarter is considered to be moderately scarce. Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 03/2011:

Very worn condition - $180

Moderately worn - $300

Slightly worn - $330

Almost no wear - $424

Uncirculated - $492 to $14,380 depending on quality

DISCLAIMER: The retail values quoted are the best available as of the date shown, but may vary significantly due to changes in the precious metals market. 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.

If the quarter is quite worn down so you can hardly see the details, it would probably be worth around $120 in Good condition. If it is nearly perfect and new looking, it could be worth about $600 in Uncirculated condition.
