Quarters minted in the U.S. during the years 1964 or earlier are all made from 90% pure silver. This is also known as .900 fine silver. There are a few other instances where your quarter may contain silver. Keep reading to learn how to identify whether or not you have a silver quarter.

Which Quarters Are Silver?

The simplest method to find out if your quarter is silver is to check the date. It will appear on the front (obverse) of the coin.

Any quarter with a date earlier than 1965 will be silver.

You can also check the edge (the "side") of the coin. If any copper shows through, it means it's not silver. This might be helpful for quickly scanning a large stack of quarters for any potential silver ones.

There are two other features that may indicate your quarter contains silver:

If it is a proof coin with a date of 1992 or later If it is a bicentennial coin (1976) with an "S" mintmark

Silver Proof Quarters

The U.S. Mint began releasing Silver Proof Sets that used 90% silver for the coins each year since 1992. These silver proofs are minted in much smaller numbers—typically less than 1 million annually—than the standard clad proofs.

Proof Washington Quarter

It can be difficult to tell the silver proofs from their non-silver proof counterparts without the original government packaging. Your best bet is to consult a numismatist (i.e. a coin expert) when in doubt.

Silver Bicentennial Quarters

Bicentennial quarters were produced specially for the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. You can tell the difference because of the dual date "1776–1976" as well as the drummer pictured on the back side (reverse) of the coin. Not all bicentennial quarters are silver, though. Look for those with an "S" mintmark, meaning they were struck at the San Francisco Mint. Each of these 1976-S quarters are made from 40% silver for a total of 0.0739 troy oz (roughly 2.3 grams) of pure silver content.

FAQs About Silver Quarters

Here are a few frequently asked questions about silver quarters. They can help guide you if you consider buying silver.

Are 1965 Quarters Rare?

No. You might think these coins are valuable because 1965 was the first year quarters were made in a copper-nickel alloy. It's true that the "first year of issue" for any type of coin usually gets collectors excited. However, in this case, the new clad coins weren't widely collected. As a result, 1965 quarters aren't rare at all.

How Much Is a 1776 to 1976 Quarter Worth?

It depends on the condition of the coin and where it was made. Most 1776–1976 quarters are worth between $5 and $10 in Mint State. They are known as "Bicentennial quarters."

Follow this link for a complete list of Bicentennial quarter values.
