How much is a Triborough bridge and tunnel authority token worth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I have one in my possession some how, and it seems to be worth $3-$8

I bought some of these in the late 1980's for a face value of $4. The reason you wanted the token in your pocket was to speed your travel through the toll booths with the ability to use the "token only" unmanned lanes instead of making change in the "cash" lanes with a human attendant. Many people would buy 5 for $20 and then enjoy the convenience of using the faster "token only" lanes on their next 4 trips through the toll both area.

Apparently, these tokens are no longer used so their practical value is less than face value, really nothing. Their collector value varies on the condition of the token and the desire of the collector. The metal value of the copper looking bronze coin is probably very small, less than a dollar.

How much is a 1890 quarter worth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

6-17-11>>> Assuming the coin is circulated, the 1890 Liberty Seated quarter is a common late-date coin of the series. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. Most coins of this type have seen heavy use and show a lot of wear. In general retail values for low grade coins are $60.00-$90.00, better grade are $100.00-$225.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $300.00-$450.00. Values are a market average and only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched, used as jewelry or have been cleaned have far less value if any to a collector or dealer.

How do coin dealers pay for silver money?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Coin dealers typically pay for silver money based on the current market price of silver. The price of silver can fluctuate based on supply and demand, geopolitical events, and other market factors. Dealers may offer a variety of payment methods, including cash, check, or wire transfer.

What is the value of a 1788 US quarter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Please take a closer look. If your quarter has a picture of George Washington on one side, 1788 near the top of the other side, and it looks new, that's because it IS new. You have a State Quarter with two dates on it. 1788 is the date that the state was admitted to the Union, NOT the date the coin was minted! The minting date is at the bottom of the design on the back side. EVERY SINGLE ONE of the billions of state quarters in circulation has 2 dates on it.

If you found your coin in change, it's worth exactly 25 cents - no more, no less.

If it's uncirculated or proof and in its original mint packaging, it might be worth anywhere from 75¢ to a couple of dollars depending on the variety.

These are the quarters issued to honor states admitted to the Union in 1788, and the dates they were actually minted:

  • 1999 : Georgia and Connecticut
  • 2000 : Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia
  • 2001 : New York
"Silver" quartersQuarters minted for circulation since 1965 are made of copper-nickel, not silver. These will either have no mint mark, or a small D or P next to the tail of Washington's wig.

Quarters minted for special proof sets have an "S" next to the wig. Some but not all of these were made from silver but they're in special packages and weren't put into circulation.

"Gold" quartersThe US has never minted gold quarters. A lot of private companies took ordinary state quarters, plated them in gold, and sold them at hefty markups as "collectibles". Any "gold" state quarters you find are from one of these sets. Coin collectors and dealers consider them to be altered coins, and generally won't pay anything extra for them.

How do you clean gold and silver coins?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You don't. You don't EVER clean a gold coin and you don't clean a silver coin.

Cleaning ruins the value of coins! If it has any collector value at all it will be demolished by a cleaning. Cleaning can take a $100 coin into a $10 coin. It will never, ever improve the value of the coin unless you literally dug it out of the ground.

Do not clean coins.
