[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 5638827, member: 90692"][USER=117596]@Courtney Lemoine[/USER] ...already a member for 10 days, welcome to CT. Although the age of the coin is important, the condition of the coin is paramount. All of these have significant wear or are damaged. Key dates, like a repunched date or a low mintage coin are good to hunt for, but even these need to be in decent condition to consider for buying. Strike, luster, eye appeal and more qualifiers are used to grade and attribute for proper assessment. All of these coins are worn or damaged and common dates. The 1965 date was the first year for clad coinage, but from that date onward, quarters and dimes no longer contained silver, so to be collectable, need a wear condition of AU58 or better (imo).
