Buying Washington Silver Quarters

 

Where to buy: You can find Washington silver quarters for sale in local coins shops as well as online sources such as eBay.

 

If you don’t mind not being able to inspect the coins in person then eBay can be a great way to purchase small or large lots of Washington silver quarters though you’ll want to watch that you don’t bid at too high a premium to the silver spot price compared to other purchase options.

 

eBay silver auctions are a bit more competitive at times now than they were in the past and some bidders seem willing to pay a premium for no discernible reason.

 

Some online coin and bullion dealers also offer large bags of silver quarters in lots of $1,000 dollars face value. Another way to find a few of these types of quarters is to sort through quarter rolls from your bank. They may be few and far between but there are occasionally still some silver quarters to find in circulation.
