That quarter has as much silver as these people have brain cells

If it was issued 1964 or earlier, the small amount of fine silver content makes it worth about $4.00 for its melt value.

Oh, so definitely worth paying off a house with

Technically about 0.18 troy ounces

If it’s a quarter from before 1965 it actually will be mostly silver. Still not in the ballpark of whatever he owes most likely.

The one in the pic appears to say 2004

Good eyes. I couldn’t see when I zoomed in.

It can't possibly be a 2004 as the heads side is of different design. Most likely a 1964 which is 90% silver.

I'm guessing he crossed the wires between ".900 fine silver" to get .9 ounce.
