Got a silver quarter in change

JeffnluJeffnlu Posts: 297 ✭✭✭✭

Sometime in the last month. We were in Florida for the month of February. We just throw our change in a mug and bring it home at the end of the month. I was sorting it out today, see a quarter that looks a little off and lo and behold a 1964-D in very good condition. Been many a year since the last one.

    Nice find! I can't remember the last one I've gotten in change. Last couple I got (some years ago now) were dimes.

    That's fantastic. I can't recall the last silver quarter I received in change. It was likely decades ago.

    Sweet! I've found a few Roosy dimes the last year or so, both dated in the late 1950s. Hard to fathom that 90% silver is still out in the wild, but apparently they are.

    Always looking for original, better date VF20-VF35 Barber quarters and halves, and a quality beer.

    To think in terms of economics vs. numismatics ; you can get about five gallons of gas with a silver quarter (current value)

    I've found silver dimes in the reject bin on the Coinstar at the Walmart. Never a silver quarter. A few years ago, a search of two bank rolled boxes of $250 in quarters yielded only 1 silver quarter. It was dated nineteen fifty something.

    If a picture wasn't going very well I'd put a puppy dog in it, always a mongrel, you know, never one of the full bred puppies. And then I'd put a bandage on its foot... I liked it when I did it, but now I'm sick of it.

    COINgratulations! With the price of silver nowadays, that was a nice score for only 25 cents!

    It's been a long, long time since I got one. Of course it has been a pretty good while since I used coins at all.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    Not on the left coast you can't [and the miles per $.01 may be comparable].

    Congrats! Wow... the last silver I got anywhere was a 1963 Roosevelt Dime I found in a Coinstar bin, and that was probably 4 to 5 years ago...

    The trick is to find a 1964,D Quarter that will actually grade VG.
