Which Coins Were Made with Silver?
Pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters are not all the same. Some dates are silver. Some are copper. Newer pocket change usually has no silver. The table shows when each coin was made with silver or another metal people ask about. A rare date can be worth more than the metal.

Are my silver dollars worth anything?
Silver dollars are not all the same. Some are 90% silver. Some newer dollar coins have no silver at all. The table shows the common types, the years they were made, and the silver in a typical coin. A rare date or a high grade can be worth more than the silver. If you bring your dollar coins to our Salem showroom, we can value them and you can leave with cash in hand for your coins.

Questions About Selling Coins in Salem
Straight answers to what people ask us before they come in.
Still have a question?
Call (503) 400-5608 or ask our team when you visit. No appointment needed.
Know where a coin's value comes from: its metal (melt value for silver or gold coins) or its rarity, condition and mint mark (numismatic value). A fair appraiser tells you which applies and why. Ask for a published payout rate instead of a promise of top dollar, testing and weighing you can watch or that is documented for mail-in, no fees, and reviews you can verify. A second opinion is reasonable for anything you suspect is rare.
Two groups. Coins valued for their metal: US dimes, quarters and half dollars minted before 1965 (90% silver), American Silver and Gold Eagles, and other recognized bullion. Coins valued for rarity or condition: key-date Morgan dollars, early Lincoln wheat pennies and coins with known mint errors. Common circulated coins from recent decades with no silver and no rarity are usually just face value, but it is easy to misjudge which group a coin belongs to.
Any US quarter dated 1964 or earlier is 90% silver and worth well above face value in any condition. Beyond silver, key dates and low-mintage years in the Washington series, certain Standing Liberty quarters and verified mint errors such as doubled dies, off-center strikes and wrong-planchet coins can be worth far more. Condition and authentication drive that side, so a specific quarter needs a direct look.
Age by itself is not what creates value; metal content and collector demand are. A worn common coin from the mid-1900s with no silver and no rarity is usually worth face value, while a pre-1965 silver coin or a genuinely rare date or error can be worth a great deal more, whatever its age. Many collections sit untouched because owners assume age alone matters, so it is worth finding out which pieces actually have value.
