Miss Italy21 Valued Member United States 163 Posts	Posted 09/20/2024 1:18 pm I have about 7 or 8 of these quarters. Different dates. Some are frosted on front and some are frosted on front and back. Pristine condition. Are these clad or silver? What would they be worth? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Miss Italy21 Valued Member United States 163 Posts	Posted 09/20/2024 1:42 pm What is proof versus standard? And why are people saying to push staples down How do I do that? Report this Post to the Staff
coin rejector Pillar of the Community United States 2835 Posts	Posted 09/20/2024 1:49 pm Proof coins were never intended to be circulated & came in proof sets (.01, .05, .10, .25, .50 & $1.00) vs everyday business strike coins. Proof coins, for example your 1977 S quarter, only 3,251,152 were produced. https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...c-dcam/96011 vs. a 1977 D quarter, there were 256,524,978 made. https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...7-d-25c/5903 Edited by coin rejector 09/20/2024 1:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95200 Posts	Posted 09/20/2024 10:08 pm The 1977-S quarters are clad proof coins, the less you handle them the better. The frost you speak of is what we call a 'cameo' which is a desirable feature to have on proofs. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
