Is a real silver american quarter worth anything?

Yes, those 90% silver coins are worth something. You can get the melt value from the daily spot price (kitco.com) times the silver content (look in a redbook at a bookstore for it). However, the amount of silver will be reduced by circulation wear. Nonetheless, it is definitely worth significantly more than its face value and not 26 cents as another answerer stated.

Real Silver Quarters

Yes, those old quarters are worth more than their face. In fact, pre-1965 Washington quarters like the 1949-dated in your possession are composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, and the silver bullion value for each quarter alone has exceeded $2. Nice circulated specimens are valued at $3 to $4. Although it's difficult to pull a silver quarter from circulation nowadays, but they are not really rare or scarce. Most coin shops carry a large selection of dates of the Washington series.

RE:

Is a real silver american quarter worth anything?

since they stoped making US coins long ago with real silver and gold, and being that they're very rare now a days to find one, would a real silver quarter be worth anything? b/c I have one dated 1949 made out of real silver,and I was just curious?

real silver american quarter worth

A silver quarter contains 5.625 grams of silver. At 34.63/oz that equals $6.26 worth of silver. You will never get that full price of course but more than $5.

If you're considering precious metals at all, go direct. Platinum, Gold, and Silver can be obtained from a variety of sources if you check the net for less than you'd think.

Coins and the like are a shaky investment. Like the economies they proceed from. If you already have one check the net under numismatics. That'll give you a real price. Check several.

Coins are not a shaky investment especially ones made of precious metals. However, if you go to a coin dealer, he will offer you only about 1/3 the price it is worth if you sold it to another coin collector. It's most recent value ranges from a low of 3.50 in "good" condition. A dealer will only pay about 1.00 for it or more depending on the condition.

It's worth more than the new one. The new ones are not all silver. I would keep it. Or give it to your grand child who maybe realize what it is and would be worth more as time goes on. Make sure you tell who ever you give it to that it's rare.
