[QUOTE="Treashunt, post: 169932, member: 6763"]Ryan: First, do you realize that both of your quarters are silver? All quarters, dimes and half dollars from 1964 and before are made of 90% silver. As for knowledge, stop at a book store and pick up a copy of "A Guide Book of United States Coins" by R.S. Yeoman, edited by Ken Bressett. It will give you an excellent start on your search for knowledge. Although the pricing information is out of date, since the coin hobby's pricing changes constantly, you will learn about the different types of coins that were made by the US. Take some time to read and learn and you will find that the hobby can be a fascinating study. What drives me? The desire to learn, acquire, complete a collection, find new varieties, and just an enjoyment of the hobby. In addition, there are some really great folks out there that you will meet and learn from. Good Luck.[/QUOTE]
