I have been watching ebay closely for a quarter near spot, when I saw this listing. Each individual quarter I find is usually a couple dollars more than spot. I've been watching ebay closely, too. The reason I'm looking for a quarter, is so that I can turn it into a ring for my girlfriend. So I'm pretty much buying them to hopefully destroy only one, and turning it into a ring. Is there any of these 4 specifically that are worth more than others? Or are they all common dates? Here is the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/15078403234....m1497.l2649Thanks for any responses, Brian |

If you are just looking for just one silver quarter, then you would probably be better off going to a local coin shop instead of ebay. If you want a circulated coin, then you can find it in a dealers junk box for close to silver value. Even uncirculated quarters from the 1960's are available just above silver spot price. |

When you're buying just one or two, stay away from ebay. It's just not worth paying the extra 1-2 bucks. |

i agree with everyones opinion, quarters are so easily obtained you can always get a deal for one at your local coin dealer if needed

Honestly, I didn't think about going to a dealer... Oh well, I know for next time.
Thanks all, for the help.

Well, I got my quarters in the mail today, and I got it to look sort of like the ring I had planned, on the first try. The outside is round, can't say much about the inside, though. Haha I'm happy with it! Anyway, here is a picture:  Now there is about $4 in silver on my garage floor. |

I lightly hammered the edge of the quarter while rotating it until I got the size that I wanted. Then I used a drill and file to get the center out. Use fine sandpaper to clean it up, then toothpaste to polish it.

Could have saved the time and money by going to a jewlery store and buying a Silver Ring. No dents, no unrounded edges, could have had it engraved. And even had a diamond placed on the center. Yours looks like a wedding band you know.
