That’s still more than face value.
A few years before my retirement, my wife came to me with a quarter that she said “didn’t work in the vending machine”. I took a closer look and realized that the quarter was from the ’50’s and was all silver, no copper. After work we took it to a rare coin dealer near our workplace and they paid us $5.00 for it.
I’ve found the easiest way to tell if a quarter is made out of silver is to jingle it with other coins. It sounds *very* different compared to copper core quarters.
I got a one dollar silver certificate in my change a couple of months ago.
Talk about gobsmacked.
