Overview

Historical significance

The year 1965 is significant in U.S. numismatics as it marked the transition from 90% silver coinage to copper-nickel clad compositions due to a silver shortage. This was the first year quarters were produced without silver content.

Estimated value

$0.25 - $2.00 (Value depends on condition; circulated examples are generally worth face value, while uncirculated specimens may carry a small premium.)

Care & preservation

To maintain the coin's condition, handle it only by the edges. Store it in a cool, dry place inside a non-PVC coin holder or folder. Avoid cleaning the coin, as chemical or abrasive cleaning can permanently damage its surface and reduce any collector value.
