Is there any real worth for these '60's & 70's quarters besides 25¢? ebay lists some outlandish prices. I find these occasionally while coin roll hunting. |

No value whatsoever for a circulated specimen. Mintmarks for Philadelphia-struck quarters did not appear until 1980.

Quote: ebay lists some outlandish prices no mint mark is a made-up ebay selling point to relieve people that don't know what they are doing and their money. Same as " L on the rim." |

If you mean straight from circulation, then definitely no value above face.

Only super high grades have any value.

I agree with the above comments, no value unless it's uncirculated.
Errers and Varietys.

Whoever started this " no mint mark" nonsense needs to be throttled. |

With the exception of coins minted in 1965,1966, 1967, and any American Silver Eagles, U.S. coins that do not show a mint mark are produced in Philadelphia. Some non-mint-marked ASE's are produced in the West Point Mint. |

Sad to say, you'll find many common-date coins on ebay listed for hundreds if not thousands of dollars. The sellers are unscrupulous nincompoops who are banking on the ignorance of the general public to try to make an easy buck. |

More than 70% of quarters in circulation are later issues now days. The older quarters with no mint mark have suffered significantly more wear and attrition than the eagle revers coins from after 1979. Every year new quarters are made and there are fewer and fewer coins without a mint mark. The common wisdom will stay that just because a quarter has no mint mark does not confer added value until the day they are virtually all gone. The perception is it doesn't matter because there are countless millions of uncirculated coins that no one wants either. In the meantime I'm sure we'll see more and more circulated quarters offered on ebay and most of them will be heavily worn and cull. "Common wisdom" is always right until it is wrong. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

"If you found them in circulation spend them."
Of course you are right. Virtually every coin of these dates foundf in circulation will be heavily worn and/ or cull. Even though there are few left the simple fact is with mintages in many hundreds of millions there will still be lots around forever. Even after a recall and melting there will be millions surviving. It's just that simple.
However nice attractive VF and better clad quarters are tough now days and most assuredly will not become easier as the survivors suffer the effects of circulation and ever more are permanently lost or destroyed.
