Family project

As a part of a family project, I will give away about 100 Washington quarters. I guess I have to use quarters from the 50's and 60's. All of them are worn.

The project is a special silver spoon. Only seven of the spoons were made in 1980 of silver dollars, quarters and halfs, melted down by a silver-smith. Now, as a part of a heritage project the family will make 100 new spoons for nieces and nephews, and other family members.

Norwegian silver-spoon

Which years of Washington QD has lowest interest and value ?

Thank you for your help.

    Well, if you have any 1932 D's or S's I'll take 'em. image Most late quarters from the sixties I would imagine have the least intristic value. Get rid of all your 64's.

    I agree 64s will have the least wear and the lowest price (but still about 5x face value). You might also want to consider Roosevelt dimes.

    Actually, all the equally worn ones would have the same intrinsic value, but some could have more numismatic value.image

    I don't know if it's possible to find this but maybe you could pick up 100 in common dates that have been harshly cleaned or are near culls. They wouldn't have as much value to collectors. There are probably dealers out there that have bags of stuff that they would sell for melt value. Try posting on BST for melt value quarters.

    edit: forgot to add: Really cool spoon and heirloom!

    You probably also can get rid of 42 - 45 Philly mints. There were tons of those made. Same with 63-64 P & D.
