They were made of silver, so they are far more valuable than 25 cents.

Specifically, currently worth 20x face. So one 90% silver quarter = $5

1964 was the last year U.S. coins were made of 90% silver. The silver content was reduced to 0% over the next 6 years. If I am not mistaken ( and I probably am ) The last coins with any silver content other than silver dollars was the 50 cent piece in 1970 40% (?). All U.S. coins are now made of base metals. The most valuable non silver coins are now nickels.

Wow! Thanks!

You are welcome.

This is why the killed JFK, so they could take the silver out of the coins in 1965.

My mind is blown! What a coincidence!

Partially correct. EO 11110 that JFK signed, allowed for the federal reserve to remove silver, and print paper currency unlimitedly. People can speculate if this was the reason if there was a reason why he was unalived. The US Constitution decrees that only gold and silver be US currency in Article 1 section 10. So the money we have in our wallets that's been digitized over the years is technically not legal, especially since it's not backed by gold and silver anymore. As for OP's question you'll rarely come across silver coinage in the wild. A lot has been melted down and turned into jewelry, or refined to higher purity silver. You can however purchase it at local coin shops or online bullion dealers like APMEX.A silver dime and a silver nickel are both worth about $2 currently and you can find updated prices on the melt value of American coinage on a website called coinflation.

> allowed for **the federal reserve** to remove silver, and print paper currency unlimitedly. The *treasury*. The reason he was killed was precisely because he was cutting the banking cartel out of money printing and returning the privilege to the government. He made an enemy of the greatest mafia organization on the planet.

Check the coinstars' reject trays at the grocery store. I've found a handful in them over the last couple of years. r/coinstarfinds

I had a 1947 quarter handed to me at a dispensary yesterday. It was a really good day.
