Oh....I thought they were half dollars not quarters - 40% silver quarters would be quite a find!
My point was that a bag of "500 pieces" is not original to anything - regardless of what it might say on the bag, or on grandpa's trunk in which it was stored "since he died in early 1965."
If they are all BU, I'd go through them. There are some decent varieties to be found in those 40%. It will take a long while, but could be worth the trouble.

Not sure what you might find but I'd want to know what is in there.
I've heard that 40% is not the best form of silver to hold onto, that 90% or .999 is better. (Same for war nickels).
I'd sell and buy 90% or .999 if you wanted to hold silver.
Sell and buy 90% with the money.
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide
To put it in British terms, would you rather have sterling coin or 50% silver coin?
Face value of a US Mint bag was $1,000 for 40% silver half dollars.
Bag them then sell and buy good coin with it. Jmo
obviously a quarter bag in a bag
need to open to see what is in it, otherwise buyer could say it was something else.

They would be Bicentennial quarters....
I thought the bison was on the nickel (or is that"nickle")?

Sell it !!!
They are BU.
I would say just put it away.... Then, when something specific comes up (coin, bullion price etc.) sell as a bag. Cheers, RickO
