What is the value of a 1776-1979 quarter?

Quarters minted before 1965 contain more silver than the newer quarters minted after that year. The average value of a quarter minted between 1776 and 1964 is $4.25. The average value of quarters minted between 1965 and 1979 is $0.50. There are exceptions, however, depending on the year, condition and mint, that can greatly increase the value of a coin minted during this time period.
