Soooo many times I get back a 1965 quarter in my change. Two times this week in fact. There has only been one instance where I was lucky enough to get a 1964 while getting change at the store. Well as the wise say, "Just sort more." :) Happy hunting all.

| I know what you mean. Whenever I get a 1965 quarter in change, I'm always thinking, "Why couldn't you have been just one year earlier?!" |

| 1965 is one of the most common years because they had to replace, as rapidly as possible, all the coin stock that was being pulled from circulation. |
And he that hath lyberte ought to kepe hit wel / For nothyng is better than lyberte / For lyberte shold not be wel sold for alle the gold and syluer of all the world.

| In Canada 1968's are probably worse in some ways because even after seeing the date it still could be silver. Those ones with a silver-looking metal tone that stick to a magnet are a kick in the pants sometimes. |

psi,
I know exactly what you mean.
If they are almost uncirulated, you can tell them apart easily (light metal = silver, dark metal = nickel).
When they are circulated, it is very easy to get fooled.
I have seen several white colored ones that stick to a magnet and many dark colored ones that don't stick.
It pays to have a small magnet handy to make sure. |

| I haven't found a pre-'65 quarter in circulation in many, many months. I'll never forget when I worked at a bookstore about ten years ago, and found nearly ten dollars' worth in the cash register. Of course, nobody else working there had a clue what they were, and I was able to change a FRN for some real money! I still have 'em, too. They were mostly '64's. |
