I Was Thinking About Buying A Set Of 50 US Silver Quarters

The mint sells the new ones for 31 a year. The states shouldnt be much more than that except for the 1999s which are pricey.

Get them for melt....seen dealers sell them as junk silver

spot is the best I'd pay if in good mood ... otherwise I value them below the spot
now is not good time to chase every silver coin - better concentrate on buying something rare

Ok, I'll bite. Where exactly would one expect to find a 50-coin US quarter proof set for spot, as they supposedly are quite common. H***, I'm having a hard time finding any proof silver coin at spot, let alone 90% junk silver that doesn't carry a 5-10% premium. Epay, a joke, Clist, astronomical, (been watching for 3 years now, never any deals), guess that leaves the forum classifieds?

Somewhere in that ballpark sounds right.

I highly doubt youll be able to consistently find them for spot that look nice. If you can buy a lot and resell them too.

I dunno where that will end but its still low right now.

The 1999 full silver set is the only one I think that regularly fetches over 100 bucks (2012 might too). One of the reason why is the 1999 graded 70 quarters have HUGE premiums. The Delaware one was a 2k+ coin last time I check and they were all a few hundred each so theres a decent demand to sort though them and take a shot on some.

2004 I believe was the first year the silver proof quarters started being offered on their own which did jack up the mintage numbers some making the 2nd half of the series cheaper. 04 through the end the mintages are between 1 and 2 million, but the first four years are all under a million basically in the same range as the W burnished ASEs usually are sitting in that 800 to 900k range.

Theyre pretty much like anything else, some people consider them just silver but some people consider proof ASEs just silver too. The 2nd half of the series if you look enough you should be able to find some in 20-25 range but the first half is going to usually be more in the 30-35 range sometimes in the 25-30 range. The other thing you can do is check for full silver sets too. The full silver sets sell for about the same price as the quarters often enough theyre worth taking a look at.
