Im a waitress at a local restaraunt and came across 29 quarters ranging in years from 1934 thru 1964, Im trynig to find out if they are of any vaue. Cant find a mint mark on them.........not exactly sure where to look. They all seem to be solid silver. Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!

Welcome!

All quarters dated 1964 or earlier are 90% silver so are definitely worth keeping. Each one is worth around $3 just for the silver alone. There are a few dates that are worth more if the coins are close to new in condition. Keep you eye out for a 32-D or 32-S which are worth a lot more in any condition.

Also look for dimes dated 1964 or earlier, they are 90% silver too. So are halves but I don't guess people use many half dollars anymore.

What Carl said.

That's the kind of find that really gets a coin collector excited.

At 12 (plus) times face value you have about $86.00 worth of silver there Vicki.
Way to go!!

Here's a link that tells you the exact 'melt' value of your coins although you'd be hard pressed to find anyone to give that much.
I think coin shops would offer you about 11X or less.

Maybe Vicki's pulling a long shift?

Why can't I find silver in my change?

Last time I found silver it was a reject from a Coinstar machine. It was a dime so nbd, but I still was thrilled.
