How much would 33 quarters and 39 half dollars be worth refined?
I have quite a few silver coins: 33 quarters and 39 half dollars. I’ve been watching silver prices and thought now would be a good time to sell these. How much are these silver coins worth refined? – Terri in Carrollton, Texas
Hi Terri,
You’re right, silver prices are at an all time high and now would be an ideal time to add a little extra money to your pocketbook when you’re ready to sell. The first thing to look at is if your coins are “junk silver” coins where the silver content is worth more than their numismatic value. The most common quarters and half dollars we see at Arch are as follows:
- (1932-1964) Washington Quarter
- (1916-1947) Liberty Half Dollar
- (1948-1963) Franklin Half Dollar
- (1964) Kennedy Half Dollar
- (1965-1970) Kennedy Half Dollar
- (1920-1967) Canadian Quarter
- (1920-1967) Canadian Half Dollar
If your silver coins are in-fact junk silver and you have 33 quarters and 39 half dollars we would estimate their melt value to be $258 per pound based on a silver price of $17.75/troy ounce. We will retain a small 10% fee of the $258.
