old quarter

[blurr]

This is one of a few coins I have found over the years. I think it is called a seated liberty quarter. I found it while helping a friend tear out an old set of steps at the entry of his house. I asked my dad what it might be worth, and he told me a quarter. Dad isn't much of a comedian. Seriously though, would it be worth more than the silver it's made from?

Thanks.

Check North American Coins and Prices 2006 book. I got it and it tells u the prices of every coin in U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Years go back to the 1600's. Thought it might be some help to ya.

There was no digging involved. Sorry if I somehow gave that impression. I started reading the posts on this site a couple of months ago. I have found everything very interesting! I honestly don't even have a md'er. I have been trying to do some research as to what kind to buy if I were to get one. As for the quarter, when we moved the steps away from the house, there was all kinds of junk wedged between the house and steps. This was the only thing I found that I thought was worth keeping.

Thanks for all the responses!!!

The coin has full rims on both sides. It grades Good (G4). Excellent find.

PS-The obverse rims look a little weak, though, so it's a low-end G4 in my book. Close to AG3, but I personally would say it makes the G4 grade, if only barely.
