The great date debate: 1893 vs 1887 quarters
dramatic music plays
okay but can we talk about how TWO NUMBERS can make a $500 difference in your bank account?
presenting: the ultimate coin date showdown
in the red corner: 1887 quarter
only 100,000 made (exclusive much?)
rarer than finding a decent parking spot
commands 2-3x premium because scarcity is expensive
in the blue corner: 1893 quarter
500,000 produced (still rare but not unicorn rare)
more available but still scarce
solid investment but not mind-blowing money
the plot twist: both are basically extinct in high grades so if you find one that's not completely destroyed, you've won the lottery.
Last week someone brought us both dates and the 1887 literally paid for their groceries for a month while the 1893 bought them... a nice dinner.
dates matter, people. Check them obsessively.
