Not a variety
VG
Bullion value
But a nice junk bin find far from home.

No dot or bar, I would agree with VG, worth bullion

All the pre-1937 quarters are going for more than bullion value on ebay. |

On Jan 4,
- the 1936 quarter in the above example sold for C$6.79
- BV is approximately US$3.03 (silver at US$20.14).

@ Alex A, I'm sure that the odd one will sell for for than BV on a good day. But in general they will sell for BV or just a touch above. I don't see the one that you are receding to on Jan 4th, but most of those coins in the example went for just a hair over $3 each. Take off the 10% ebay fees, the 2.9% PayPal fees, the set transaction fee from PayPal, postage, and packaging and you will generally get much less than BV. Just because you see one or two coins sell for that value, you can't expect that it will go that way each time. |

As a SELLER, yes it is more difficult to make a profit (sale price-fees-shipping-melt value, but most transactions do sell for much more than melt. Checking the latest SOLD 1936 quarters on ebay shows that aside from two transactions (and a few 'lot' sales), most went in the $6 - $9 range. Although the OP's quarter shown is not in great condition ( I would also grade it vg, or vg+), it does have full lettering which brings a premium. Most junk quarters have a habit of missing lettering; mostly the CA of CANADA. Although the OP's CA is light, they are still there, which makes it more desirable, thus worth a fraction more. Due to limited funds, I buy many coins in lower grades, but I do insist on complete lettering/numbering as far as older Canadian silver coins. |
