I bought a large amount of pre-65 quarters from APMEX. I recieved 20 standing liberty quarters that were pretty worn(only one date showing), and 8 canadian quarters, two of which are from 1968. I want to get rid of these and replace them with the proper washington quarters.

Anyone know what these are worth? Anyone want to trade for washington quarters?

APMEX sent you '68 Canadian quarters when they were suppose to send you silver U.S? Sounds like you should complain if that is the case.

I noticed those are only 50% silver.

I bought them in September of 2006. It might be a bit late to complain.

What about worn standing liberty quarters? Are those comparable to non-worn washingtons?

Also, it was only 8 canadians, out of 4000 quarters. Is 0.2% close enough?

The SLQ slicks are probably about 92% of the weight of an uncirculated quarter, so figure you lost approximately 40 cents per coin of silver value for wear. The two 68 Canadians are worth about $2.69 each, the others $4.31. You got gypped a little bit, but it's too late to do anything about it now. No one is going to trade you straight across for slicks. Just hold onto them and sell them at the end of April, they'll be worth far more then than now, and will enable you to "take profits" on a small portion of your hoard if you've already designated coins you wish to get rid of.

Some of the 1968 Canadians are made of nickel. Do your quarters stick to magnets?

I don't really care about getting ripped off for this amount. I don't really consider it a rip-off anyway. If it had been 10%, or a large number like that, then sure. But twenty standing quarters and 8 canadians is pretty trivial. You wouldn't be too upset if you bought a 0.999 bar and found out it was actually 0.997 would you? That's an equivalent scenario(actually slightly worse than my scenario).

just be happy ya grabbed them in 06 and what the are worth now

Yup.
