It looks pretty nice, but your quarter needs to be a true uncirculated specimen to be worth much of a premium. Not sure about yours I see some marks.
This is nicer than the 1983 (same poster?). There's more original mint luster, but it is circulated. XF-45/AU-53.
Yes I'm the same poster. So if I were to sell it on eBay how much money would u say I should list it as?
Coins like this will never sell for enough to cover fees and shipping. To me it's 25 cents. Someone may pay more if they have been fooled by the You Tube videos proclaiming these coins to be rare. These coins are not rare. Most of them have crappy dies/ strikes, and they are rare in fine detail and mint state grades. This is not mint state, when the price goes up. Almost impossible to find an 82 or 83 in circulation that is worth more than a quarter. If you like this one, then just keep it in your collection.
That’s a pretty nice coin from circulation. I’d say it’s a album coin for sure but holds no premium value as it’s common to be found in pocket change. Sorry but it’s just not nice enough to be worth more than face value. Reed.
So, if you don't believe him, why don't you list it on FleaBay with no minimum & free shipping. Be sure to let us know how much you lose on the deal. Chris Oops! Sorry! I thought you were the OP.
The coin ('82-P) is probably worth about six or eight dollars. It wholesales for only $2 but this specimen is far nicer than the typical AU that brings $2. It is well struck by good dies which is scarce for the date. It has only very light wear and one significant mark. This coin is actually superior to many of the BU's which are often quite ugly due to poor strikes, worn dies, and excessive marking. It's definitely a keeper.
I might add that BU's are vastly underpriced. They are underpriced because there is so little demand in part because people think all moderns are common, because the price guides are used to suppress the market, and because most BU's look so bad that nobody wants to pay good money for a BU roll when usually they are nothing but garbage. Put these three factors together and an extremely scarce coin like a BU '82-P quarter wholesales for a paltry $5.90 each. Don't be fooled by that wholesale price though because a true Unc, even an ugly one, sells for more at auction or on eBay. Nice specimens bring far stronger prices because it's nice attractive well made coins that get the attention for this date. There are probably fewer Unc '82-P quarters than there were '16-D dimes (any grade) in 1964 yet a nice attractive (VF or better?) cost hundreds of times more in today's money than a typical Unc '82. This is the power of demand. People do everything in tandem. '16-D dimes are still very popular and the quarter might never be.
It's a shame I missed this thread when it was new. Now TangerineCoin is gone and might have even spent the quarter. The attrition on moderns is just staggering because so many dealers and collectors tell people to just spend them. I've seen dealers put BU rolls of rare dates in the cash register because they don't know better. Low prices assure the coins aren't protected in safety deposit boxes so are more likely to be destroyed in fire and flood. Even the rarest moderns just get a lot rarer with every passing year. There aren't many '16-D dimes wearing out in circulation or being recycled with old cars. It's a shame that the current generation has shirked the job of saving coins for the future. This problem is especially acute in world coins where some are very difficult not only in Unc but any grade at all. Somehow collectors got the idea that if mintages are high enough they don't need to be saved and they'll always be around.
That would be to easy. The coin is worthy of a tube of like coins, has no chance of Gem though. Let alone mint state.
