To illustrate the difference in the buying value of a real silver pre-1965 quarter versus a post-1965 nickel and copper quarter: in 1964, a gallon of gas costed 25¢. That same quarter is worth $2.94 today, it will still buy a gallon of gas. It takes 11 post-1965 quarters to buy a gallon of gas. Gas prices haven't really gone up at all over the past 40 years. They just "seem" to have gone up because the value of our money has gone down.
I would gladly accept pre-1965 silver coins in exchange for anything I have for sale using current market value of those coins, as would anyone else who knows the value of real gold and silver. If I had something for sale for $15, I would accept a pre-1965 quarter as payment and I would owe you change back. At the close of the stock market yesterday, a silver dime was worth $1.17, a quarter $2.94, a half dollar $5.87 and a silver dollar $12.55. As our currency loses value, the value of the gold and silver will continue to rise.
