Check these before selling at melt
1932-D and 1932-S Washington quarters are the series' key dates and sell well above melt; check any 1932 before selling it as silver.
This page prices metal, not rarity. A coin a collector would pay more for should be looked up in a grading guide before it goes into a melt lot — once it is sold by weight, the premium is gone.
Any US quarter dated 1964 or earlier is 90% silver; 1965 and later circulating quarters are copper-nickel clad and worth face value. On a stack, look at the edge: silver quarters show a solid silver-white edge, clad quarters a copper stripe.
The number above is melt value: the silver in one unworn coin at the live spot price. For a circulated coin that is the right answer — silver quarters trade on their metal, not their face value — but a few dates are worth more to collectors, and the key-dates section on this page names them. For a whole bag or a mixed lot, the junk silver calculator prices it by face value.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much is a silver quarter worth today?
$9.07 in silver, at the current spot price of $50.16 a troy ounce. Each coin holds 0.1808 troy ounces of pure silver (6.25 grams at 90% silver). That is the value of the metal; a coin with collector value can be worth more.
How much is a 1964 quarter worth?
A circulated 1964 quarter is worth its silver: it is the last year US quarters were struck in 90% silver, so it holds the same 0.1808 troy ounces as every earlier Washington quarter. A 1965 quarter is clad and worth 25 cents unless it is a mint error.
How many times face value is a silver quarter worth?
36.3 times face at today's spot: 25 cents of face value holds $9.07 of silver. Dealers often quote junk silver this way — "36 times face" — so the multiple is the quickest way to check whether a quote is near melt.
How can I tell if a quarter is silver?
Any US quarter dated 1964 or earlier is 90% silver; 1965 and later circulating quarters are copper-nickel clad and worth face value. On a stack, look at the edge: silver quarters show a solid silver-white edge, clad quarters a copper stripe.
Is any silver quarter worth more than its silver?
1932-D and 1932-S Washington quarters are the series' key dates and sell well above melt; check any 1932 before selling it as silver. Condition matters too: an uncirculated coin can carry a premium over melt even in a common date. Circulated common dates are worth their silver.
