how did you get so many silver quarters? do you own a lot of vending machines?

from that calculator, it says the silver alone is worth $7 per quarter. OP, have you tried some coin shops in the area?

My "future" mother in-law works at a bank. An old lady came in, said she wanted new quarters. She gave her new quarters, and bought the rolls the old lady gave her from the bank at face value.

I have not tried any local shops/metal trade places. I assume they would jew me way down.

Fucking bankers.

I have been collecting US coinge and old bills for a little while now. Unless you have a coin case, and box, or/and a COA you aren't gonna get more than 2 per coin, if that. That said, I'll buy the 2 of the quarters and and 3 of the 50 cent pieces for $10.

i guess that was an attempt at humor...

OP you will get at least $6 per quarter from from the local shops. I'd check to make sure you don't have ones that are worth more than their silver content/rarer ones. sell those on ebay, and sell the rest to a local dealer.

or the way the price of silver is going, you might wanna hang on to them for a while...

8/10/2011 12:13:28 PM

So you really think he is gonna get about $1600 for all of these coins?

At $2 a coin he looking at a pretty good profit and he should take that or just start his collection because he'll be holding on to them.

he'd be better off trying a pawn shop then TWW.

They will pay $6+ for each quarter.

I'm not sure where you pulled this $2/coin number from. I assumed you were just joking around with the whole "these things aren't worth shit, so that being said, i offer you shit for them" thing

8/10/2011 1:05:01 PM

OK. My offer stands, $2 a quarter, and I'll even offer $4 for the half dollars apiece.

8/10/2011 1:11:07 PM

You find any pre 1964 quarter and i will buy them from you all day at 2 dollar a pop.

Get on ebay, type in silver quarter. Or just go to cointalk.com and brush up on your coin-ology.

All I am saying is that if you are not in the coin business its gonna take a very long time to sell them all at the price you are looking to get. Most people have coins for sales for months before they even sell a handful, so for you to have 215 it would take a LONG time to sell them. If you can sit on them fine, obviously, but if you are trying to get paid in the short term, 3-4 weeks max, you gotta sell them much cheaper than $5. That said I am not trying to be a dick or an asshole, my offer is stated.

[Edited on August 10, 2011 at 9:11 PM. Reason : /]

8/10/2011 9:09:30 PM

^nope. Look at ebay right now, completed auctions.

pre 1964 halves are going to get 13+ guaranteed
quarters are going to get far more than 2 bucks each.

Smaller lots seem to go for more per coin, but its a hassle to break it down into a bunch of dofferent auctions.

Selling for 5 bucks per quarter should be your minimum goal here(selling in big lots)

8/10/2011 10:21:25 PM

Well, Just report back after you sell them, I am curious to know how this will turn out.

what the hell are you talking about? i thought you were trolling, but it's now obvious you're serious. any reputable coin dealer in town will give him ~$6 each. call around if you don't believe me.

i love how you're acting like an authority on this shit when you have no clue what you're talking about .

8/10/2011 11:02:36 PM

Dude, why are you pissed hahaha?! Calm down. Take a chill pill or something. lol

8/10/2011 11:06:02 PM

not pissed. just amazed that you present yourself as an authority on old coins. but hell, i guess it's the internet so we can be whoever we want to huh

8/11/2011 9:00:35 AM

I am the wolfweb authority

8/11/2011 12:00:50 PM

Hell - I thought this whole thing was a troll tread. Thought to myself...I'll give you $.25 per quarter and $.50 per half-dollar. Now I'm like wondering if I've got a ton of these sitting around the house...

8/11/2011 1:44:02 PM

8/11/2011 2:04:40 PM

I'll give you $150 for them all, thats the best I can do.

8/11/2011 4:43:45 PM

I'll go $800

8/11/2011 5:00:18 PM

$200 in case synapse pulls out

8/11/2011 6:31:04 PM

$900

8/11/2011 7:17:39 PM

Sold.

Thanks for responses/posts.

8/11/2011 7:43:00 PM

Are you gonna tell us for how much, we ain't gonna rob or anything

8/11/2011 9:29:52 PM

^ that. how much did you get? was i right?

8/12/2011 9:26:24 AM

At least give us a narrow range!

8/12/2011 9:44:19 AM

It was over $1,000 , local deal. Got a little less than 5 per. Which is a great deal for the buyer.

8/12/2011 10:10:37 AM

Man I was close!! Hey I was just trying to jew, but I would have paid 3.50 a coin for the quarters, and 5 for the half dollars. That was my limit for me being a non-dealer. I have been following coins for a while now and I knew what they were worth

8/12/2011 10:21:13 AM

uh dude, wish id seen this thread.

Why didnt you just take them to a dealer. The melt value would have been higher.

8/12/2011 7:38:03 PM

A few places wouldnt take my qty.

8/12/2011 9:13:33 PM

$1,000 isn't quantity in this market.

I've bought $30k worth of gold and silver personally in the last month alone. You could have gotten full price

8/15/2011 11:36:13 PM

I currently have a few oz's on silver jewelry and I may have some gold jewelry coming up soon, are you interested?
