I would find a good local coin shop that has a bin with common 32-64 Washington quarters. He/She should sell them for well under 10 bucks each. That's how I have been filling up my Quarter album. |

I usually pay $3.25-$3.50 for average circulated silver Washington quarters. Some of the quarters from the 1960s you could probably get in BU condition for under $10...probably closer to $5. I usually buy my coins from coin shows and a trusted seller from a flea market. |

Well if it is 90% silver coins you are interested in buying, become more familiar with this forum and spend some time posting here as it is often people sell silver coins on here and as of lately can range from 12-13x face value (ex. $3-3.25 per quarter) which is nice because they are lower than ebay in most cases. |

Have you tried looking up coin shows.

 to the Community! Coin shows are always my first choice, but I have been increasingly looking on ebay, at least for my graded Ikes. I think deals are to be found on ebay, but it does take a lot more effort, in my opinion. |

Thanks all for the awesome feedback, it's honestly what I expected to hear. I don't have a problem with a collector trying to make some money from their investment - my issue is that on ebay there are people willing to pay $30 for an ungraded 1932 Washington quarter that is listed as "BU" and looks like it has been cleaned. I wouldn't mind that coin just to fill out my Whitman Washington quarter books but not at that price. Crazyb0, could you recommend any other auction websites? |

do you have a local coin shop in your area, or a gold and silver pawn shop. at either place you should be able to find a good mix of dates at close to spot price..

Unfortunately we're in the middle of the Mojave Desert and 40 minutes from the closest inklings of civilization. There's a gold/silver shop about 90 minutes out but everything is "incredibly circulated".

Check ebay bulk silver quarter sales. You could fill a lot of holes by buying for the silver value plus 10-20%. |

I don't know where that number came from, but .900 silver quarters have a current melt value of $2.97 (as of this post). You are correct, Thank you I did put in the wrong price. I appreciate you correcting it. Also to Kubruceiii I apologize for miss leading you, I should not be saying anything after dinner time as my mind goes into dumb mode for the night. |

No worries! As for the melt value, I guess even the worst pre-65 quarters are worth at least a few bucks!
