<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 3097578, member: 74863&quot;]And this is the problem: you asked for our advice and the majority says DON&#039;T CLEAN then but your mind was made up before asking. Also you have your facts wrong. Yes, I&#039;m sure it was a mistake. We all make them but cleaning a coin is a big mistake. Earlier you stated that from 1951 to 1964 6.9 billion quarters were minted yet in your post to Jim (desertgem) you stated that you &quot;see little gains in an old quarter&quot; and that &quot;it&#039;s a highly stamped coin by volume (6,900,000,000).&quot; First, coins are minted, not stamped. Dollar bills are printed, not stamped. Stamping is what the post office does. And the highest mintage quarter is a 1965 (clad) with a total mintage of 1,819,717,540 according to my new Red Book. Only 4 quarters, all clads, have a mintage exceeding 1 billion. As I said, you&#039;ll say it was an error but if your facts are not correct in this I must ask if you have the correct facts for cleaning old,dirty, high mintage junk value only quarters?</p><p>Many recent clad quarter mintages are the same as silver quarter issues. The last 5 US Territory quarters and a lot of the America The Beautiful quarters for example. And we all know that despite what you call &quot;high mintages&quot; a good number are non existent. You own them. Do as you will but don&#039;t ask for our advice when you&#039;ve already made up your mind.</p><p>Oh, and every dealer I know charges a premium for Liberty and Barber Quarters. Why? Because they are getting scarcer as time goes by. Yes the mintages are lower than Washington Quarters. Try and find a 1951-S or a 1955-D in your junk Quarters and they are in the date range you provided as &quot;high mintages&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
