how much is a 1964 us silver quarter worth

[DelLeo]

That's a great question! The 1964 US quarter is a very popular coin because it was the last year the U.S. Mint produced quarters with 90% silver content. This high silver content is the main reason for its value.

For a standard, circulated 1964 quarter that you might find in old pocket change, its primary value comes from this silver. This is often called its "melt value." Based on silver prices, this value is typically around $4.00 to $4.25. So, even in well-worn condition, your quarter is worth significantly more than its face value.

The value can increase quite a bit if the coin is in uncirculated, or mint, condition. The coin's specific condition, known as its grade, plays a huge role here. For example, a 1964 quarter in a lower uncirculated grade (like MS-60) might be worth around $9 or $10. If it's in a higher grade, such as MS-65, its value could increase to between $19 and $25.

In very rare instances, a 1964 quarter in near-perfect condition can be worth a tremendous amount. A top-graded MS-67 coin could be valued in the hundreds of dollars, and exceptionally rare, perfectly preserved examples have sold for thousands. However, for most 1964 quarters, you can expect a value based on their silver content, with a nice bonus if they are in pristine, uncirculated shape.
