Hi
As I originally asked I had come across an article that mentioned silver 1965 US quarters (....that they were quite valuable), and I was wondering if the distribution of these 'oddballs' was random or if they had a particular distribution path {like the large bust 1973 cdn quarters which was only found/distributed in mint sets}
As said I prefer not to damage the memento on a fools errand
Thanks to all for their time and input
Regards

Well assuming that all the coins were minted in 1965, you will not find any mint marks as no mint marks appeared on circulating coins from 1965 to 1967. That is a nice handle for the glass, I would leave it as it is if it were mine. I would make that my coin examining magnifier.. |

Hi
It was a gift from a supplier in that year and logically I think that would indicate all the coins are from that year. As Dearborn says its (IMHO) a neat set and has warm memories of my and my family history.

It appears that you are asking about 1965 quarters struck on silver planchets. These do exist and are valuable. There's no way to tell whether yours is silver or even 1965 with it encased like that. I really doubt that it is one. As far as distribution, I don't know how you could determine that, since it was random and we have no idea which mints produced them.

Leave it as is, you'll only damage the coins trying to remove them.

Just by looking at the coins you can tell the only silver coin is the 50 cents. There is a notable difference in color compared to the clad coinage.

Can you get us a picture of the edges of the coins?

If you can see the edge of the quarter and it has the copper band, it's more than likely just a spender if you crack the acrylic open. 1965 silver Washington quarters are very rare and have a look all their own. Mine has the relief of a 1965, but the patina of a 1932-1964 silver. Edited by DoubleEagle20
