Or you could wait for others on here to agree with me . See if you can take a good closeup of the edge.

Silver quarters and clad quarters do not weigh the same. Your photos are not very clear but the quarter looks like it is silver. __________________ No state shall emit bills of credit, make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts, coin money . . . - US Constitution, Article 1, Section 10 ANA LM-3799; OHNS LM-59; SUSCC R-4005.

Nice find! Retail value on it is about $3 and wholesale is about $2 if circulated. It's the most common date silver quarter but worth much more than face value.   02-10-2009, 02:42 AM   #12 (permalink) fishaddicit Senior Member     Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Hawaii Posts: 549 My Mood: What is the date on the quarter? sidebar comment.

That will clear up a lot of questions on your coin. Everything else is guesswork without the date.
