@potty dollar 1878 is pretty much right. These were minted en masse and also saved en masse. Uncirculated examples are readily available and are often found in change. Nice hole filler for your collection though.
Wendy, there are specified forums for Buy/Sell/Trade with special rules. Solicitations are not allowed in general forums.
@Wendy avet …According to NGC Price Guide, which you can use to get “in the ballpark” as far as value goes, Indiana P&D State quarters are listing for MS63/$3.00 and MS60/$.75…your coin pics were out of focus but your coin appears to be Mint State. When setting a value on your uncirculated coins, you must ensure that there is truly no wear on the coin and be honest with yourself. This is especially true when you are finding uncirculated coins from daily pocket change or CRH…imo…Spark
Although I have a lot of nice coins that I get in change, I just through them in a jar and when the jar gets full, I take it/them to the bank to get folding money. I only collect coins with silver for current years releases. Except, I do collect the older coins, i.e., IHCs, 2 cents, 3 cents, etc.
Coin collecting was always, to me, a poor kid, a difficult hobby; like when I received a 1858 American quarter in change at the CNE in Toronto in 1949, when I was 12 years old. not spending that quarter meant I had to walk home from the bus stop because I wanted to keep what I thought would be a valuable coin. Today it is probably worth $1.50 maybe, but I really don't know its value.
I saved bi-centennial and state quarters until I made a couple of sets for my grandchildren, then I neatly rolled the remaining coins and took the rolls to my credit union where ?I was told they would not take them, but I could have them counted in a coin sorting machine in the lobby that charged a 15% fee to count them, whereas the CU paid less than 2% on my savings account. So, when one of my grands went on a field trip to Costa Rica, I gave him a bag of quarters to hand out to the little kids there. Better there than to be "ripped off" by my credit union.
Maybe a little more that that, depending on mint and condition...and maybe a lot more. Nice story to relate...thanks.
Millions upon millions are in circulation Wendy. I would not waste my time on them unless they are MS-70, or PF(Proof), and slabbed. Good luck
The spot price of silver says it’s worth at least $4.50 but in G-4 the Red Book says it’s worth $25.00 and my book is four years old. It’s worth the walk you took as a kid and it’s worth more than you could ever sell it for due to the meaning of why you kept it.
Welcome to CT @Wendy avet. I'm curious as to why you feel/felt your quarter was worth more than face value. Even if it warranted a premium, the cost to have them graded and slabbed (which would be about the only way you'd be able to sell them) would be way more than their value. If you are a collector and like the coins, put them in flips and keep them. If you are looking to get rich on common coins, good luck.
At MS63, almost all State quarters are currently listed at 12 times their face value. This is a fact, not wishful thinking. NGC, PCGS and many other valuation sites agree. However, buying or selling them presents two paradigms per medium used…and just off the top of my head there is: Your LCS. Heritage. Stacks-Bowers. eBay. Etsy. Coin Talk…and private individual sale. Different strategies apply to each of these methods for buying and selling coins. IMO, 5 of these apply to the buying and selling of State Quarters. So, @Mountain Man …I believe @Wendy avet came across this pristine-looking Indiana State Quarter and thought it had more than 25 cents value. He was right.
