    Will the coins named above ever be worth anything? I was thinking about bringing them to TD and cashing them and maybe getting $250 in dimes (if I have that much). Should I get rid of them or keep them?

    I don't see why they would be worth anything more than face value. There are some doubled dies for those years in the Washingtons. You could check for those.

    Do you have more specific years or is it for all of those years?

    This depends. What condition are they in? If they are BU they are worth a lot but if they are your average worn 1960s pocket change that you've just been accumulating then I would spend them.

    65 there's 2 ddo and one DDR and I think there was a couple for 68, maybe 69.
    I'll check the cpg later and let you know for sure

    They made too many of these to have any value today. I find more 1965 quarters than any other year. They're worth 10 and 25 cents respectively.

    Once again this depends. If they are your typical pocket change finds then yes, they are worth 10 and 25 cents, respectively. If, for example, ace has Mint BU original rolls of these coins then he is sitting on gold because clad was not saved in quantity in the 1960s which makes them highly valuable in mint condition. This is especially true of clad quarters from the era. The best thing we can do is wait and see what ace has to say about them.

    Even if they are BU...they need to be a really nice MS example to be worth much of a premium. The years of clad coinage, even the first few years had coins produced in huge numbers. Not a lot of value there.

    I remember what I was told by an expert on the matter at a coin club back in about 2005. Original BU rolls of clad quarters from the 1960s, especially from 1965-1967, are exceptionally rare and are worth a lot more than some people think.

    Nice BU examples do carry value...but they have to be at least MS64 from my experience. I think the reason for this is two fold. First, nobody saved them at the time because everyone was concerned about the silver coins and secondly because the clad planchets are harder so weak strikes were common.

    I would turn them all into Kennedy halves and stackem. Something about the clad verses paper. And you never know the bank rolls you recieve in the even exchange may produce some 40% silver. ofcourse after some examination of the coins you have as the above mentioned.
