Silver Quarters

[Ron_CA]

My Wife went into the bank to make a deposit and while she is at the teller window a lady (late 20s) approached the teller at the next window over. "Theres someting wrong with these quarters, they don't feel right" the teller told her that's because their silver.

 

Teller asked if she wanted more quarters and told her they were worth more. The lady said no I just don't want these just give me $10. My Wife offered her $20 and she declined and said just give me $10, so she did for a complete roll (40) of silver (pre 1965 for those that don't know) quarters.

 

Score for the Wifey

Yep, drop em' on a table you can definitely hear them, they sound like silver dollars being dropped. But they don't contain that much silver(not as much as a silver dollar). Technically one of those quarters today would be worth about 1.75

Just by weight they are at $205

 

On ebay there are 2 lots of 40 right now @ $199 so that would make them approx $5 ea

a lot of people don't know this sadly.. basically in my experience, anyone born in the past 30ish years..

 

 

I collect whatever silver coins I find, dimes, quarters, half and full dollars.. I've even come across a few 1943 silver pennies and buffalo nickels.. I have a mayo jar full of the silver stuffs..

the 43 pennies were made of steel when there was a copper shortage during WWII. there were very few copper 43 pennies produced that were not meant to be put into circulation but did. if you find one of them you will be a lot closer to retirement.. same as the 1909's early release..

My Wife showed the quarters to our next door neighbor who is 38. He didn't have a clue as to why they were different.

 

I started collecting coins when i was just a kid, so will just add them to the collection.

Cool find!

 

One of the scrapyards in Richmond I used to take wire to a couple years ago passed me authentic $2 bills a couple of occasions when the guy payed me out. I thought that was pretty cool but I also wondered where the hell he got all of them from.
