Scan your coinHow to tell
- Read the date. It is on the front of the coin. A date of 1964 or earlier means a silver quarter.
- Find the mint mark. On this coin it is a small letter on the back, below the wreath. A "D" means Denver. A coin with no mint mark came from Philadelphia.
- Look at the edge. On a silver quarter, the edge is silver all the way through, with no copper-colored stripe.
- Check the condition. Heavy wear lowers the price, but a worn coin still has all its silver.
What a 1964 quarter is worth
Both mints made 1964 quarters in huge numbers, and those counts include quarters dated 1964 that were still being minted in 1965 and 1966. So neither the 1964 nor the 1964-D is scarce, and a worn one gets its value from the silver, not from rarity.
A common 1964 quarter worn from use sells for about its silver. Because the value follows the metal, it moves with the silver price. Check a current price before you sell.
Other silver quarters to look for
This quarter design ran from 1932 to 1998, and only the early dates are silver. If you have older ones, the 1932-D and 1932-S are the most valuable dates, and their mint marks are often faked. Have one checked by a professional grading service or a dealer before you count on it.
Also look at any 1965 quarter. Some 1965 quarters were struck by mistake on leftover silver blanks. Those are heavier than a normal 1965 quarter and have no copper stripe on the edge. A scale and a look at the edge will tell you.
A quarter from a different design is not covered here. See the 1976 Bicentennial quarter or the 50 State Quarters. For anything else, browse every US coin guide.
Condition
Most 1964 quarters found in change are worn, so expect the silver value, not a collector premium.
If a coin looks unusually sharp, a dealer or a professional grading service can tell you whether it is worth more than its silver.

Questions
Is every 1964 quarter silver?
Yes. Quarters dated 1964 and earlier are silver, whatever the mint mark. A coin with no mint mark is a Philadelphia coin and is silver too.
Is a 1964-D worth more than a 1964 with no mint mark?
No. Price guides list both at $9.51 worn, because the silver sets the price.
Why does my 1965 quarter not count?
Quarters from 1965 on are normally not silver. The exception is the rare ones struck on leftover silver blanks. Those are heavier and have no copper stripe on the edge.
Should I sell it or keep it?
That is your choice. Compare what a dealer offers with the silver value, and remember that dealers usually pay a little less than the metal is worth.
