Maybe the price in the other link is set a bit too high, but who knows maybe 1915 is a good year !!

Here is a 1914 sold for 25.50 Euros

By way of comparison, a "gem brilliant MS-63/64" Barber quarter of about that age in the common mintages would be worth maybe $800, while a circulated, buried and dug variety in VF-20 ("very fine") would be worth $30. In coins and baseball cards condition is everything. If buyers want to see the bridle strap rivits on the closest horse and the waxy hairs in the guy's ear they'll be critical of the grade when buying . . . and then mark the same coin two grades higher when they try and sell it.

That whole waxy ear hair thing is kinda gross... LMAO
