Well im barley a new coin hunter and well i live in a really mexican place so the chances they know a lot of coin history is slim so i actually got a buyer although i've really never bought coins either so i guess im not expieriencd either anyways my question is How much should i buy the regular quarters that had silver (no rare coins just the regular coins you see but there 1964 below)What would be a good price to buy and which would be a good cheap price to buy?? (i don't really care how they look i mostly buy them just for silver i don't collect regular quarters ) How much should i buy dimes that had silver? Im not sure if Mercury/Or the other one is called sorry mattters much but if so..how much should i buy each? and what would be a good cheap price?? I mostly am buying it for the silver how much should i think i should buy em?? Also i do not really care what grade they look so im not really judging on their grade mostly with the silver. Thanks
A lot depends on if you're buying proofs, uncirculated, or circulated. Rare, key dates, or common dates and mm.
Oh what would a common ok quarter/dime be worth? as i said not really looking for collecting these ones just for the silver mostly i heard quarters go for $1-$3?? im not sure
I guess a common one if not in proof or gem bu would just probably be face, silver is not worth anything other than its melt value unless its a error, key date, slim mintage, etc.
For silver quarters, there is .18084 oz. of pure silver at the current spot price of $18.06, the silver value is $3.25. Silver Dimes are $1.30 silver. Silver halves are .36169 oz. $6.53 Silver Dollars .77344 $14
http://www.coinflation.com/ it will give you the melt value of each and you have to remember if you plan on trying to make some $ on them you will need to pay alittle under the value of melt.
Half dollars - 1964 and earlier - 90% silver - .36169oz pure silver Half dollars - 1965-1970 - 40% silver - .1479oz pure silver Quarter dollars - 1964 and earlier - 90% silver - .18084oz pure silver Dimes - 1964 and earlier - 90% silver - .07234oz pure silver Wartime nickels - 1942-1945 - 35% silver - .05626oz pure silver If you're just buying circulated (junk) coins for silver content, multiply the appropriate silver content times (X) the quantity of coins times (X) the market price of silver to determine the total value.
