hey,
so I'm a college student who works at a Starbucks and tonight while working. I found a bunch of these weird feeling quarters in my till. after looking twice I noticed the mint dates fell between 1932-1964 so I put them all aside and bought them all. I have 28 silver quarters. I'm pretty sure I don't have any of the rare ones according to a few sites I looked at. can someone tell me what these coins are worth and perhaps where I could go to sell them or send them off to melt. any information would be great. thanks in advance.

It is hard to give you values without the actual years of each coin. They could all be different values. Also, closer up pictures taken from directly above would help to be able to see how much detail is left in each quarter. Here is a good site to find fair market values to sell for.

Hi wwong24 Welcome to the forum .

do any of the standing liberties have dates which are readable ?

The washingtons depending on the dates and mint(list them if you like ) it will help us to know what you have so nothing gets missed look to be all circulated and about VG to fine condition the prices can vary but generally they are worth from 2 to 4 dollars each again depending on the dates and mint marks some may be worth a little more .

the standing liberties would be worth a little more also depending on the dates and mint marks and condition .

these prices would be what a collector may pay, melt value will be less , and if you sell them to a coin shop you will possibly do better than melt but a little less than a collector may pay .

but before you go to a dealer or anywhere to sell them ,give us a chance to let you know what you have , you will be better prepared to deal with the dealer or whoever you decide to sell to .

list the dates and mint marks and closer pictures of the standing liberties , we will let you know if we need pictures of any of the washingtons based on the date list .

the mint marks are small letters on the back of the washingtons and a small letter next to the left foot of the standing figure on the front of the standing liberties .

unfortunately even the best conditioned standing liberty do not show a readable date.

no need to apologize for the pictures. we like that here! I did a quick search from what details and grades that at least closely apply. Please wait for a couple more to agree or disagree before taking my word for it. Safer that way.

1932 - $8
1936s- $3.75
1936s- $3.75
1936d- $5.75
1942d- $3.50
1953 - $3.50
1959d- $3.00 ea
1961 - $3.00
1964d- $3.00 ea
1957d half - about $7.00

as for dateless walker quarters? I have no clue. Sorry. These are just estimated prices I got from the numismedia website. You could get more or less in a sale so please don't stick only to my estimates. It's only my opinion. lol

That is one nice 1932.
The others?
Melt, current buying price about 8X face.

But, you got #28 pieces, I wonder who got the other 12 pieces, surely it was a full roll.
Good luck.

Perhaps some fortunate customers got them as change before he made the discovery.

i know for sure I gave one of these quarters away to customers. my co-worker said he might have had a few in another till. i'll check it again when I go back to work tonight but I doubt they'd still be around by that time. as for what I'm going to do with the coins, i'll probably end up selling them.

That is a nice find! Especially in that quantity!

Anyways, I wouldn't sell it for melt right now, since the spot silver market is at a ~3 year low and has dropped about 55% since its highest just 4 months ago.

not even kidding. I went to work tonight to hear a familiar sounds in my till. it was kind of slow tonight so I got a chance to go through all the tills and I found another 80 silver quarters. i'll update with what kind I got today.

after today.
17 standing liberties.
(3)1926: 1 with S on it
(1)1927: D
(2)1928: 1 with S on it
(2)1930
the other 10 have no date on them. any idea on what these might be worth?

as for the Washington quarters, after today I am only missing 1933, 1938, 1939, 1947, 1949, 1954, 1955, 1957, 1963 to finish the set. many multiples, many S and D. i'll update with pictures a little later.
