Question for Coin Collectors...
I recently came across a 1935 silver US quarter. It has come to my attention that this might be worth something...
When I tried to price this based on eBay auctions, the auctions ran the gamut from $4 to $500. As far as I can tell, there are no markings to differentiate different places of minting on these quarters (S, D, etc). How the heck am I supposed to see how much this quarter is worth?

If there is no mint mark, it was minted in Philadelphia.

Where is a reputable place to buy coins? Especially with ancient coins, I often fear of getting fakes.

I used to buy from a coin shop I trusted. I have several silver quarters but as far as valuation is concerned, you'd be best to find a reputable shop and talk with the owner. You can also get a price sheet from these coin shops.

So, would a 1932 be considered "junk silver", or something more? Maybe I should go through my junk silver item by item. After Nixon (wasn't it Nixon? '64?) announced we were going away from the precious metals standards, I started removing the silver from my store's till...any and all, replacing it with sandwich coin change. I've got a old crown royal bag full of the stuff....50 cents, quarters, dimes....

The current silver value puts U.S. silver coins at about 10 times their face value. A well-circlulated 1935 silver quarter is worth about $2.50. |

I have recently purchased Roman coins in bulk off E-bay. 10 coins run about $25. Most are slugs, but you usually get 2-3 decent ones. They are very dirty, and the cleaning process is time consuming.
I could care less about value, I just enjoy slowly cleaning them up, then trying to identify them. Most end up being from the time of Constantine. There are a lot of coins from this era being found in the former Yugoslavia at the moment.
