* Regular issue: A 1960 silver quarter in circulated condition is worth around $4.00. However, if the quarter is in uncirculated condition (meaning it has never been used in circulation), it can be worth significantly more. The value of an uncirculated 1960 silver quarter can range from $10 to $50, depending on its grade.
* Proof coin: A 1960 silver proof quarter is a specially minted coin that was made for collectors. Proof coins are struck on specially polished planchets and have a mirror-like finish. The value of a 1960 silver proof quarter can range from $25 to $100, depending on its grade.
In addition to the condition of the coin, the mint mark can also affect its value. Quarters minted at the Philadelphia Mint (no mint mark), Denver Mint (D mint mark), or San Francisco Mint (S mint mark) are all worth about the same. However, quarters minted at the West Point Mint (W mint mark) are more rare and valuable. A 1960 silver quarter with a W mint mark can be worth up to $500 in uncirculated condition.
