I figure my collection of bicentennial quarters might be worth something about 100 years after I’m dead.

I started collecting coins again recently and have had a tough time finding all the state quarters in circulation. Now I know why.

I’ve got a 5-Gallon water bottle half filled with quarters. That sucker must weigh about 100lbs. Maybe some rainy week I’ll go through them...

It's unclear from this article, but my kids were into collecting coins around this time frame, and they never circulated quarters that were anywhere close to 90% silver.

You had to buy special "Proof Sets" to get the silver version of coins, and these being proofs also had the mirror finish on the flat areas of the coins.

I think someone wrote this story because some unwitting kid once spent some of his Proof coins on candy.

How do you find silve proof coins in circulation? Did some child pry open the plastic case to get some candy money?

Mint Releases First Ever W Quarters Into Circulation

They’re talking about coins with a silver content. That is, collectible coins. That means, that the people that only coins already know this unless they inherited them.

Are you sure that state quarters have some silver content? Coins minted in 1964 or before were 90% silver (dimes, quarters, half dollars) but after that the silver was removed.

Oh, no, I was broke last week. And guess what I used to buy some food... :-(

Silver Proof are the valuable ones.

[MayflowerMadam]

Once I read that the NC quarter should be valuable because the motto is incorrect. The quarter says, “First Flight”, but the motto is “First In Flight”.

Probably not true, but it was discussed years ago.

[glaseatr]

Might be time to look for pre 1965 quarters and have them melted for the silver content.
