I have one of each that was given to me by a good friend of mine. I was just wondering what the value would be for them?
at silver spot price today the dime would be worth about $2.44 and the quarter would be worth about $6.12. Those prices are from coinflation.com. If they are really nice examples then they might be worth slightly more.
Gut? $2.45 & $6.12. That's "melt" value. Now, depending on the condition of the coins, the value could go a tad higher.....
If the dime is a denver mint check for doubling on the reverse. A doubked 64 dime is worth about one hundred dollars in ms condition.
Don't hold your coins like that, hold them by the edges. Even in low MS, they still would probably only sell for melt, in 1964 they made a gazillion quarters and dimes. And here's an example of doubling: http://coins.thefuntimesguide.com/images/blogs/1955-double-die-penny.png HOWEVER, that is the most pronounced doubling you will ever see. Most doubling is hardly noticeable, and some is noticeable only with magnification. Not sure about that particular error on the '64 dime.
Auch! Mary! Do not hold a coin like that unless you're wearing cotton gloves.......and even then don't do it.
Oh, sorry... New to all this...Also, I have coins that I nought back several years ago that I never too out the packaging. Silver dollars... And they r discoloring. Does anyone know why??
Silver will discolor and tarnish depending on how the coin is stored. Sometimes the tarnishing/toning is pleasing and rather beautiful. Other times it can border on the ugly. Depending on what you like, toning is not such a bad thing.
Hey i know this is off topic and i apologize if this is a repeat question but its sometying ive been wondering about for a long time. How come on heavily doubled lincolns as well as all other doubles that ive seen, the bust never appears doubled. How are all the words and numbers doubled but the bust remains the same?
Welcome Maryannarianne :welcome: I have seen some other coins packaged by Littleton. I am not impressed with their quality. They gear their sales to the average retail consumer, NOT a serious coin collector.
Hi there... Yes, I received them back in 03. But what is weird is thst the oldest one that I have is 1987 and that is the only one that hasnt changed in color... Could it b something in the silver? Or maybe in the packaging....?
Welcome to CT! :welcome: Check your 1964 quarter for the Type B reverse. If so, it could be worth considerably more than melt. TC
It's likely that packaging. Those are I suppose technically silver dollars, but they're called ASEs, American Silver Eagles. They were never intended to be used as a dollar. Put them in airtites: http://www.stantonbooks.com/Air-TiteSilverEagle.jpg Or, at the very least, I'd put them in a tube or something. You can get airtites on ebay, or jpscorner.com, or wizard coin supply, or your local coin shop.
