    you can always bring it to spock's pawn shop. you will meet a guy called joe there he will offer you 20 bucks and take both the coins but if you tell him i sent you he will give you $25. :D


    jokes apart i would get it PCGSfied and let it rip either on the bay or on heritage

    actually, NOT to deplete the stocks, just to overload the system to prevent hoarding.

    in 65 a few coins were struck on silver planchets. They would fetch a premium, however like desertgem said this economy might affect the amount you could sell them for.

    Hey Guys, I had a call yesterday from a dealer who tried to tell me that there are plenty of 1965 90% silver quarters around. His only reference was e-bay - a "special Mint set" for something like $14.00. I did a Google on special mint sets. the only hits I received were on e-bay. What I found was a 1965 in the usual sleeve, mint set. There were some other years - the coins had been removed (so it appeared) and placed in hard plastic flat containers. They were also called special mint sets. I also went to the Mint website - absolutely no mention of special mint sets.

    Can anyone shed some light on this?

    Thanks,

    I hope that dealer didn't follow his remarks with an offer to buy.

    SMS dimes and quarters were not silver (except by error).

    He hinted around - said he would do more research and get back to me. I asked a lot of tough questions - I don't think I'll hear from him again.

    Very interesting! I also saw a "special mint set" supposedly silver on e-bay a couple of days ago.
