[QUOTE="davidh, post: 2616428, member: 15062"]Better get yourself a coin collectors dictionary; people here love to talk in acronyms and think everyone should know what they mean (don't be afraid to ask but try not to be affected by the responders that treat you like a simpleton for not knowing). PDS refers to the three mints that made quarters - Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco. A proof is a special made coin from the mint made from dies that have extra detailed and polished surfaces and using polished specially handled blanks. Your coin, in its circulated and worn condition is only worth its silver value - currently about $3.00. A dealer would only pay about 85% of that, taking into account the cost to ship to a smelter and still be able to profit on the transaction. Aside from a few error coins, the only quarters in the condition yours is in that might be worth a premium are the 1932D and 1932S examples.[/QUOTE]
