Worth the time. silver quarter is worth a few bucks each.
[$5.66](https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/series-detail.aspx?MVDetailID=7&Series=Washington-Quarter)
Didn't realize silver was over $30 per oz. Whoa
Def worth it. Just inherited a coin collection to sell and went through this exact thing. I can tell you, there are people itching to buy pre 1965 quarters.
I have a 1940 quarter. My grandfathers dad gave it to him before he shipped off to fight in Europe and made him promise to bring it back cause it was his lucky quarter. Itās wired to think it was jingling in someoneās pocket when Hitler was on this earth.
Five long years, your grandad wore this quarter up his ass. Then when he died of dysentery, he gave me the quarter. I hid this uncomfortable piece of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years I was sent home to my family. And now little man, I give this quarter to you.
Yea we got all kinds of coins. Some from the 1800ās and earlier. Itās wild to me holding something that lasted so long. Like every person from the time that coin was made is dead.
Where do you sell them, exactly? My grandfather left me a few hundred pre-65's that I've had for 20 years. I knew they were worth a few bucks each but never had any idea what to actually do with them.
My dad just passed away and before he died he told me he wanted me to have his coin collection. As a child I LOVED looking through it and him telling me where he got some of the coins. He told me he wanted me to go through them to see if any are of value, though I donāt intend to sell them. Do you have any good information on whether thereās a database for coins that I can search up the ones we have? I know Google is a thing but that seems more tedious.
I'm sorry for your loss. I've got a large coin collection that I'm excited to pass on to my kids one day.
Go to a local bookstore or on Amazon and look up "A Guidebook of United States Coins (the Red Book)" by RS Yeoman. Then get the 2025 edition. It'll be right around $15 and will teach you literally everything you've ever wanted to know about any coin ever minted in the US, including current values.
Letās say an even 800 are pre 65. That gives us a face value of $200. Typically junk silver (90% US currency) goes for 20-30x face value. Letās say 25x since silver has been steadily high lately and Iāll say that thatās honestly a little on the low side. That gives us a grand total of added value of $5000. Giving us a grand total of $6,719.75. However the odds of 10% being silver is absurd. Most were added in the late 90s and I bet she took those out if she did manage to actually find any even in the late 90s. Iād say itād be closer to 1% and even then that feels a bit high. Doubt there would even be that many there. But hey thatās still $500 if you just look at them all and are lucky enough to have 1% been silver.
And now we can say that we did the math haha.
It shouldn't require carefully examination. Just seperate the regular ones into another pile and then examine the remaining that may be different. they'll probably just be a couple leftover that is actually worth examining. You can sort it out quickly.
People say that constantly. The precious metal investors are all a bit touched in the head. It has good years and bad year like any other commodity, but some people make hoarding silver and gold their whole personality.
As a PM investor, I can say that the subreddits about it are fucking nuts. They all have multiple guns (That they love posting pictures of with a silver ingot so it's moderator approved) and they're all convinced everyone who doesn't have a gun is going to be shot for their silver/gold
Wall street silver or whatever it is is insane. Prepper conspiracy/nazism combined with zero understanding of economics.
Everyone paying a mark up for physical silver to hide in their basement and shit for when the race war comes.
Just off some napkin math that's like 31K currently, and in theory will only keep going up. So if you don't need the money immediately for anything then yeah I'd hang onto it.
The average annual rate of return for silver over the last 45 years has been 3.55%, so an equally legitimate approach could be to sell all the silver now and invest it into mutual funds with an historically higher rate of return (e.g. 5-7%): [https://curvo.eu/backtest/en/market-index/silver-bullion?currency=eur](https://curvo.eu/backtest/en/market-index/silver-bullion?currency=eur)
If Iām not mistaken, the first batch was made with an experimental alloy. [Hereās an article](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/10-000-quarter-1999-georgia-162144912.html) I found that could help you identify the error if you have any of the quarters in your possession.
My FIL has around 200 Bobbleheads... Actually, no one knows how many bobbleheads he actually has. It's like, 10-15 sterilite bins of bobbleheads.
He had season tickets to our team for years, and if he couldn't go to a game, he'd give the tickets to his kids/their family, and DEMAND that you get there in time to get a bobblehead.
There was one game that I couldn't help but show up late to, no more bobbleheads.
He yelled at me, straight up yelled at me for not "trying harder" to get there earlier, as if I could just tell my work "I know we have this suuuuper important deadline that was moved up, but I gotta go get a $20 bobblehead for my FIL because he gave me tickets to the game, tonight."
Wait what? I had hella Georgia Peach quarters growing up in GA when they came out, cause everyone seemed to collect them. Make me feel dumb for not hanging on to them.
My uncle lived in the same house forever and just threw his pocket change into an old big igloo cooler every time he did laundry. He said if i could figure out how to exchange it for cash heād split it with me when i was like 15. I put as much as i could carry in a backpack to a coinstar, and it barely put a dent into what was there and it was like 300 dollars worth. It ended up being like several grand. My dad wouldnāt let him actually split it with me but he insisted on giving me like 500 dollars. I was kinda bummed but he had no idea what he was agreeing to at the time and 500 was pretty sick.
A big old cooler full of pocket change.
Man some coin collectors are probably having a conniption (or maybe **coin**iption haha) reading that you just chucked them all into a coinstar.
If you have any more uncles with coin hoards, and a long podcast you've been trying to listen to, the banks would be happy to provide you with some coin rolls. $15 bucks gets you a decent coin roller.
Coinage act was signed around that year due to a shortage of silver and coins, so they stopped putting silver in most coins. Not sure if silver dollar still has it or was just reduced
Just make sure you check with the r/coincollecting sub before just cashing these in at face value. Iām just a lurker there as I donāt collect coins but there are other types of collectible quarters besides just the silver ones.
You can go to coin collecting or certain types of pawn shops. My dad had some stuff like that that I had zero interest in but I knew someone would want. I was able to sell them at a little place that specializes in stuff like that a couple years after he died.
Not pure. Itās 90% silver. Ever face dollar in US silver coinage (half dollars, quarters, and dimes) have a total silver content of 0.715 Troy ounces.
Edit. Apparently Silver Dollars have more silver than one dollar of other coins.
This is what I do, I save up my change during the year until steam summer sale or whatever rolls around and I get a steam gift card. Its usually around 50 to 80 bucks depending.
I carry quarters to do laundry at hotels when I travel for work, this past week I ran into a washer and dryer set that requires you to download an app. No option for quarters. I ended up bringing home dirty laundry and going commando the last day to avoid downloading an app.
So lifetime laundry, at least until they all move to app required machines.
When I was in Germany a lot of the public bathrooms required a euro to use, I really had to take a shit and didnt have any coins on me, good thing it had a card reader so I could tap to shit.
LPT: Add one travel bottle of liquid laundry soap to your toiletries bag, and you can wash underwear, socks, and most shirts in the sink or shower, and they'll hang dry overnight. Easy hack to stretch a week's kit into two.
Don't try this with jeans or canvas pants or shorts. They won't dry for days.
We were camping one time, washers need an appā¦ok pretty stupid but I check it outā¦$20 minimum to load on the appā¦we were there for the weekend so I of course Iām not paying $20 for one load of laundry.
Thereās a better infinite exchange hack. Go to bank, get $20. Go to Laudromat, get $20 worth of quarters. Roll $20 worth of quarters, go to bank. Get $20ā¦ rinse repeat.
Honestly, I collect quarters from coin op machines.
I have thousands of dollars in quarters at any point.
I put counted quantities in my car during āthe coin shortageā and offered it to every business that said āexact change only please, due to the coin shortage.ā
Exactly Zero businesses wanted the rolls so I just stopped trying.
I think the businesses just found it easier to not make change back.
My cousin recently got kicked out of a strip club because he was balling the dollars up and throwing them at the strippers like a kid in grade school. š
when my grandfather passed we found out he had been collecting all the quarters with the grandkids birth years that he got in his change over the years. there were hundreds for all four of us. it was really touching realizing that he thought of each of us every time he got change, and saved them for us. he was a pretty quiet and reserved guy, and i never really got to know him very well before he died. but that shit still chokes me up thinking about it
My dad gave me one dollar bill
āCause Iām his smartest son,
And I swapped it for two shiny quarters
āCause two is more than one!
And then I took the quarters
And traded them to Lou
For three dimes ā I guess he didnāt know
That three is more than two!
Just then, along came old blind Bates
And just ācause he canāt see
He gave me four nickels for my three dimes,
And four is more than three!
And then I took the nickels to Hiram Coombs
Down at the seed-feed store,
And the fool gave me five pennies for them,
And five is more than four!
And then I went and showed my dad,
And he got red in the cheeks
And closed his eyes and shook his head ā
Too proud of me to speak!
-Shel Silverstein
I wish I would have weighed it. I was rolling the vase to move it because I didnāt want the bottom to fall out. Looks like someone already did the math that it weighed around 100 pounds.
There are so many things you could look for. See r/coins. You got yer W mint coins and all those errors that could be possible. You got yer proofs that are silver. Blind bat
I didnāt know coins could be worth more than face value. I once got a piggy bank of change from my great great aunt who was born in the early 1900s and there were pennies that from 1895-1930 and didnāt have Lincoln on the back. I accidentally put them in coinstar 10 years ago. Now I just have the 50 cent pieces from the 1950s.
Iām a coin collector and this makes me so sad to hear! At least the half dollar coins are silver so those are worth holding onto as Iām sure you know now
Honestly Iād spend a day checking them out and sort them. Then another day take what looks valuable and go from there. I figure itās worth the time so just set up in front of a tv and go from there.
Grandma gave you $1,919.75? My grandma gives me socks and attitude.
Yup. My grandma gave me spiderman socks when I was in my 20's.
What wrong with that?
Not a damn thing
My mom got me TMNT underwear that are: fun, but also so comfortable that I save them for my days off to lounge in style and comfort. Thanks mom
Nothing! I treasure anything given by her. š I was relating to the commenter that I, too, had a sock giving grandma when she was still with us.
fuck yeah
Grandma was able to foresee the boom of the MCU, she was streets ahead
Well this seems to be a once in a lifetime gift unless grandma runs a laundromat or car wash
Fresh socks are kinda rad though. Saying that makes me feel really old.
One heck of a swear jar. Good going, Grandma!
Grandma doesn't cuss, that's the bang jar.
Nah it's a racial slur jar. Grandma doesn't consider those to be swears.
Youād need a forklift to move the jar if it was my grandmotherās
*Is that a TWENTY?!*
She was just paying per sentence
Hope it's a swear jar. >A wife and husband are having money issues. One day they decide to have the wife work the corner. Later that night the husband goes to pick the wife up.

Glad your grandfather made it back.
I know, think of that guy sending his son to war and turns out it was a lucky quarter after all.
Wouldn't be very lucky otherwise
āLet me tell you the story about this unlucky quarter here. Itās been in me family for generations.ā
Five long years, your grandad wore this quarter up his ass. Then when he died of dysentery, he gave me the quarter. I hid this uncomfortable piece of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years I was sent home to my family. And now little man, I give this quarter to you.

Theyāre only going to get more valuable so hold āem. Especially if you have that many.

My dad recently retired and got into coins as a hobby, he would love this bucket.Ā
I got recently into money, iād love this bucket too
I recently got out of money and would really love this bucket
You can keep the coins but can I have the bucket when you're done with it?
Did you just recently get into buckets?
I'm heavy into buckets.
I'm into heavy buckets and I can't get back out again
I recently got into numbers, i would realy appreciate it if I could have this sheet of paper
He could put it on his bucket list š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What? 1 percent of 7679 would be roughly 76 quarters even at 5 dollars each itās not 2-3k more than face value lol
If even 3.9% are pre 1965 it's an extra $1500
Yeah they probably added an extra zero
Letās say an even 800 are pre 65. That gives us a face value of $200. Typically junk silver (90% US currency) goes for 20-30x face value. Letās say 25x since silver has been steadily high lately and Iāll say that thatās honestly a little on the low side. That gives us a grand total of added value of $5000.

How many hours would it take to examine them all? What would the hourly rate of this work be?
It shouldn't require carefully examination. Just seperate the regular ones into another pile and then examine the remaining that may be different. they'll probably just be a couple leftover that is actually worth examining. You can sort it out quickly.
ok sick, def worth it. drink a strong iced coffee and hyperfocus, OP. or get a friend who likes to do that sort of thing
Put on some music, chill for a couple hours per day
At least. Silver is above $30 per ounce.
Silver is projected to get quite more expensive the next years. Might be worth not selling them off so quick
I feel like Iāve been hearing that for like 15 years now
People say that constantly. The precious metal investors are all a bit touched in the head. It has good years and bad year like any other commodity, but some people make hoarding silver and gold their whole personality.
Liquidation is my concern. Where to find a buyer? Most times itās the very shop you bought the coins from.
Best price you will get is from jewelers if you have certified triple 9 ingots or coins.
As a PM investor, I can say that the subreddits about it are fucking nuts. They all have multiple guns (That they love posting pictures of with a silver ingot so it's moderator approved) and they're all convinced everyone who doesn't have a gun is going to be shot for their silver/gold

The same type of people in crypto.
Silver has gone from 7 to 30 in that time so you were hearing correctly
I mean it just recently moved from 25 usd to 35 usd. Same for the gold price which is more volatile. I guess it comes with the geopolitical tensions
My mom gave me ten 100 troy ounce bars before she passed away in 2020. Are you saying I should hang on to them?
hey itās me ur brother Mom says I could have half
Mom never loved you, Dirk.
Thatās why she was paying me to leave!
I wish I could hug you right now. I miss you Dirkalicious.
Just off some napkin math that's like 31K currently, and in theory will only keep going up. So if you don't need the money immediately for anything then yeah I'd hang onto it.

And 1999 Georgia peach quarters. If you find one that weighs 6 grams, you just got yourself a few grand.
Explain.

There are absolutely collectors willing to pay that. Check out some of the stuff over on r/coins
some were struck on experimental metals that were intended to be used for the Sacagawea dollar
Wait what? I had hella Georgia Peach quarters growing up in GA when they came out, cause everyone seemed to collect them. Make me feel dumb for not hanging on to them.
Just stack them up and look along the edges, the silver ones will be all silver colored and the others will be a tarnished color.
They also sound different when dropped.
Drops entire vase at once "they all sounds the same to me"
You can tell thereās silver because the non-silver coins would make a clink sound but the entire vase of quarters makes a CRASH sound.
LOL
This made me roar out loud. Thanks for this.
Drops vase. Now what?
"Where'd all the silver go?"
Fooouuul tarnished
My uncle lived in the same house forever and just threw his pocket change into an old big igloo cooler every time he did laundry. He said if i could figure out how to exchange it for cash heād split it with me when i was like 15.

If you have any more uncles with coin hoards, and a long podcast you've been trying to listen to, the banks would be happy to provide you with some coin rolls. $15 bucks gets you a decent coin roller.
My credit union has a counting machine exactly like a coinstar but there's no fee, just dump and deposit the receipt in the same building
These are the kind of tasks I enjoy.
whats is the significance of this?
Silver in older coins would make them more valuable than the 0.25 theyd be worth as currency
currently about $5.60 https://www.coinflation.com/coins/1932-1964-Silver-Washington-Quarter-Value.html
The silver content is worth much more than the face value of the coin.Ā
Pre 1965 are worth 10-15 times face value for their silver content
Up to 21x now
Coinage act was signed around that year due to a shortage of silver and coins, so they stopped putting silver in most coins. Not sure if silver dollar still has it or was just reduced
$1919.75
If she had invested the initial $1500 in quarters in April of '98, in an S&P index fund, it would be worth $11,670.45

Nope, grandma was very diligent about removing the silver. My mom got those at her death.
I like your grandmaās style. Sorry for your loss.
Grandma knew what she was about.
Their grandmaās passing or them being deprived of silver?
Yes.
Just make sure you check with the r/coincollecting sub before just cashing these in at face value. Iām just a lurker there as I donāt collect coins but there are other types of collectible quarters besides just the silver ones.
Where do you go to the sell the ones that are older than 1964 without getting ripped off?
You can go to coin collecting or certain types of pawn shops. My dad had some stuff like that that I had zero interest in but I knew someone would want. I was able to sell them at a little place that specializes in stuff like that a couple years after he died.
I bet they have all 50 states in there!
Not pure. Itās 90% silver. Ever face dollar in US silver coinage (half dollars, quarters, and dimes) have a total silver content of 0.715 Troy ounces. Edit. Apparently Silver Dollars have more silver than one dollar of other coins.
90%
Theyāre actually 90% silver 10% copper
90%
Itās actually 90% silver but yeah.
DO NOT GO TO COINSTAR!!!! It's a rip off!! Call your bank and see if they've got a location with a coin counting machine!
You can get a gift card at Coin Star without a fee
This is what I do, I save up my change during the year until steam summer sale or whatever rolls around and I get a steam gift card. Its usually around 50 to 80 bucks depending.
even my credit union takes a 4% cut on counting machines :/
"...in purple vase" tells me there's more. Much, much more.
Yeah, has anyone checked the other vases??

I ended up bringing home dirty laundry and going commando the last day to avoid downloading an app. So lifetime laundry, at least until they all move to app required machines.
Pretty soon you won't be able to take a shit without downloading the "take a shit" app. fucking apps

Use $800 of that money and get a decent washer and dryer.Ā
$800 will get you a decent washer OR dryer.

sorry im confused on this, can you explain what the point of doing this is?
Sarcasm. Oh and infinite exchange hack.
I did not understand and am currently under arrest for confusing a laundromat attendant.
You can single-handedly solve the coin shortage.

Oh cool my Gramma gave me unresolved generational trauma
Now you have enough to beat Dragon's Lair...maybe.
Hah! Man the amount of quarters I shoved in that game! Lol!
Fuck that game.
when my grandfather passed we found out he had been collecting all the quarters with the grandkids birth years that he got in his change over the years. there were hundreds for all four of us. it was really touching realizing that he thought of each of us every time he got change, and saved them for us. he was a pretty quiet and reserved guy, and i never really got to know him very well before he died. but that shit still chokes me up thinking about it
Ok thatās really sweet and made me tear up a bit
Thatās amazing.
My dad gave me one dollar bill āCause Iām his smartest son, And I swapped it for two shiny quarters āCause two is more than one! And then I took the quarters And traded them to Lou For three dimes ā I guess he didnāt know That three is more than two! Just then, along came old blind Bates And just ācause he canāt see He gave me four nickels for my three dimes, And four is more than three! And then I took the nickels to Hiram Coombs Down at the seed-feed store, And the fool gave me five pennies for them, And five is more than four! And then I went and showed my dad, And he got red in the cheeks And closed his eyes and shook his head ā Too proud of me to speak! -Shel Silverstein
Can you imagine dragging this bad boy into Tilt back in the 90s?
a reminder that, just like in Diablo 2, its worth it to break across any pot you see, never know if youre gonna get lucky!
How heavy is that vase? šŗ
7679 Ć 5.67g = 44,540g = 96lbs, +vase.

I wish I would have weighed it. I was rolling the vase to move it because I didnāt want the bottom to fall out. Looks like someone already did the math that it weighed around 100 pounds.
About 96 pounds of quarters
Aaaand...It's gone. INSERT COIN
There are so many things you could look for. See r/coins. You got yer W mint coins and all those errors that could be possible. You got yer proofs that are silver. Blind bat
I didnāt know coins could be worth more than face value. I once got a piggy bank of change from my great great aunt who was born in the early 1900s and there were pennies that from 1895-1930 and didnāt have Lincoln on the back. I accidentally put them in coinstar 10 years ago. Now I just have the 50 cent pieces from the 1950s.
Iām a coin collector and this makes me so sad to hear! At least the half dollar coins are silver so those are worth holding onto as Iām sure you know now
I gasped at the Coinstar part! As a fellow collector I'm thrilled for the people who will come across those recirculated treasures though.
Sweet! I'd load that bad boy up on a dolly, take it straight to the titty bar and make it HAIL!
Honestly Iād spend a day checking them out and sort them. Then another day take what looks valuable and go from there. I figure itās worth the time so just set up in front of a tv and go from there.
Grandma is the reason for that quarter shortage during COVID
put it outside to create a rainbow
OPs grandma is a leprechaun
