About this coin’s value
The ¼ Dollar "Washington Quarter" (New York - Silver Proof) contains 0.1808 troy ounces of silver (90.0% fine, 6.25 g gross). Its melt value above is that metal content multiplied by the live spot price — the floor any dealer offer should be judged against. Collector value for better dates, mint marks and grades comes on top of melt, so check before selling scarce coins as bullion.
