[QUOTE="heyimjason, post: 1365660, member: 36079"]Hi - newbie here. I was at work when someone came in and used a ton of change to buy cigarettes. She looked at a quarter, said, "That's a weird one," then slid it over to me. Figuring any "weird" coin might be worth something, I bought the quarter for myself and later found that it's a Standing Liberty quarter - first one I'd ever seen. Well, 2 days later, I'm out of town on business, stop somewhere to buy cigarettes, and the guy has to break open a roll of quarters to give me change. He hands me a Standing Liberty quarter. I noticed that the quarters in his tray looked white. So I immediately tossed him a $10 and bought 'em all. Turns out, they're all silver (with about 5 Standing Liberty quarters in there). The question is - what do I do now? I don't think I've got the time (or patience) to collect. It seems like wherever I search for the value of the coins, I just get smelt values. I certainly will not melt down such unique, old coins. Half of the others sites wanted me to pay and join before getting the values.
