The next challenge is determining the condition of your old quarter. Commonly found with slight wear, check if your coin is in a higher more collectible condition.

	Uncirculated: Untouched since being minted and no wear on its surfaces, a quarter in this condition is avidly sought by collectors and dealers. Admittedly few survive this nice.
	Extremely Fine: The lightest of wear and abrasion begins to show in the hair and curls over Washington’s ear. Minute details have disappeared and mint luster is absent from the neck and cheek. This quarter is worn, but very lightly.
	Fine: Wear has begun to take its toll on this quarter. Flattened areas of wear cover Washington’s hair and curls. Although the hair line along the forehead is visible.
	Good: All the important details show but very flattened by wear. The tops of the letters have begun to merge into the rim. A 1963 quarter in this condition is worth the underlying silver bullion value.
