Do you have a 1964 silver quarter sitting in your change jar? You might already know it’s special—all 1964 and older quarters are 90% silver—but there’s more to watch for that can make your coin worth four or five times its normal value! 😲
🔍 Why 1964 Quarters Are Special
- Automatic silver content: 90% silver, making them valuable for collectors and investors
- Potential extra value: Certain coins from 1956–1964 are classified as Type B quarters
🏆 How to Spot a Type B Quarter
Type B quarters have subtle but important differences on the reverse side:
1️⃣ Check the lettering: Look at the word “STATES” – is there extra space between the E and S?
2️⃣ Examine the leaves: On the reverse, see if a leaf touches the A in “DOLLAR”
If your coin has both features, it may be a Type B quarter—worth quadruple or more compared to a regular silver quarter! 💰
💡 Why This Matters
Even for silver coins, multiplying the value by four or five can make a huge difference. Collectors and investors are always on the lookout for Type B quarters, so spotting one could mean a serious payday.
